Bleaching powder and bleach solution are produced on a large scale and used in several household products. The effectiveness of bleach solution is often measured by iodometry. Question: 25 ~mL of household solution was mixed with 30 ~mL of 0.50 M KI and 10 ~mL of 4 ~N acetic acid. In the titration of the liberated iodine, 48 ~mL of 0.25 ~N~ Na ₂ ~S ₂ O ₃ was used to reach the end point. The molarity of the household
Options
- A0.48 M
- B0.96 M
- C0.24 M
- D0.024 M
Correct answer
C. 0.24 M
Step-by-step solution
Bleach +2 KI I ₂+ Products I ₂+2 Na ₂ ~S ₂ O ₃ Na ₂ ~S ₄ O ₆+2 NaI Number of millimole of hypo =0.25 48=2 millimole of I ₂ Number of millimole of I ₂= 0.25 48 2 =6 millimole of I ₂= millimole of bleach Molarity of bleaching solution = Millimoles of bleach Vol.(in mL ) of bleach = 6 25 =0.24
