Answers available below

In this experiment you will determine the oxidation number of iodine in one of its compounds by titration. PMT II III IV VI VII FA 1 is a 0.0197 mol dm3 solution of the iodine-containing compound. FA 2 is dilute sulfuric acid, H2SO4. FA 3 is aqueous potassium iodide, KI. FA 4 is 0.105 mol dm3 sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3. starch indicator FA 1 reacts with excess acidified potassium iodide to produce iodine, I2. This iodine is then titrated with aqueous sodium thiosulfate using starch indicator. (a) MethodFill the burette with FA 4. Pipette 25.0 cm3 of FA 1 into a conical flask. Using the measuring cylinder, add 10 cm3 of FA 2 to the same conical flask. Using the same measuring cylinder, add 20 cm3 of FA 3 to the mixture in the conical flask. The mixture will now be a red-brown colour, due to iodine produced. Carry out a rough titration by adding FA 4 from the burette until the mixture becomes light brown. Then add 10 drops of starch indicator. The mixture will change to a dark blue colour. Continue titrating until the mixture becomes colourless. This is the end-point. The rough titre iscm3.Carry out as many accurate titrations as you think necessary to obtain consistent results. Make sure any recorded results show the precision of your practical work. Record in a suitable form below all of your burette readings and the volume of FA 4 added in each accurate titration. (b) From your accurate titration results, obtain a suitable value for the volume of FA 4 to be used in your calculations. Show clearly how you obtained this value.

(iii) Use the information on page 2 to calculate the number of moles of iodine-containing compound in the 25 cm3 of FA 1 used in each titration. moles of I2 =mol moles of iodine-containing compound in 25 cm3 FA 1 =mol (iv) Use your answers to (ii) and (iii) to calculate the number of moles of iodine produced when 1 mole of the iodine-containing compound in FA 1 reacts with excess FA 3. Give your answer as an integer. moles of I2 =mol (v) The anion in FA 1 is IOxwhere x is the number of oxygen atoms present in the formula. Use your answer to (iv) to balance the ionic equation for the reaction between FA 1 and FA 3 under acidic conditions. Hence deduce the value of x in the formula IOx . IO + I + H+ I2 + H2O x =(vi) Calculate the oxidation state of iodine in FA 1.
