This is what I have for my iodometry
The amount of thiosulphate required to reduced I
2 28.5cm
3. For every 2 moles of 2S
2O
32- one mole of I
2 is reduced.
2S
2O
32- + I
2 S
4O
62- + 2I
-The moles of 2S
2O
32- can be calculated using the formula. The volume is divided by 1000 to give the value in dm
3volume x concentration = no. of moles
28.5cm
3 x 0.1M = 0.00285 mols
_______
1000
Therefore, with a ratio of 2:1, the number of moles of I
2 is
0.00285
_______ = 0.001425 mols
2
The iodine is formed, and held, by mixing KI, KIO
3 and HCl
5KI + KIO
3 + 6HCl
3H2O + 6KCl + 3I
2The iodine is liberated from the KI
2KI
I
2 + 2e-
As it takes 2 moles of S2O3 to reduce the I2 to I-.
2S
2O
32- + I
2 S
4O
62- + 2I-
multiply by 3 to get 3I
26S
2O
32- + 3I
2 3S
4O
62- + 6I-
Therefore, the molar ratio of S
2O
32- to KI is 6:5 and the ratio of I-, IO
3 and S
2O
32- is 5:1:6
And so the 5 moles iodide ions react with 1mole of iodate ions.
The concentration of iodide ions can also be determined. The volumes are divided by 1000 to give the result in dm
3.
Volume of KIO
3 x concentration = volume of S
2O
3 x concentration
0.005dm
3 x concentration = 0.0285dm
3 x 0.1mol dm
-3 Concentration = 0.00285
_______
0.005dm
= 0.57 mol dm
-3The ratio of KI to I
2 is 5:3 so
0.57mol dm
-3 x(5/3) = 0.95 mol dm
