Which substance is used as a standard solution for titration in the quantitative estimation of O 3 gas?
Options
- ASodium hydroxide
- BHydrochloric acid
- CSodium thiosulphate
- DBorate buffer
Correct answer
C. Sodium thiosulphate
Step-by-step solution
In the quantitative estimation of O 3 gas, iodine liberated when ozone reacts with an excess of potassium iodide solution buffered with a borate buffer is titrated against a standard solution of sodium thiosulphate. This method provides a quantitative estimation of ozone.
