What is the molarity of a potassium triiodide solution, KI3(aq), if 30.00 mL of the solution is required to completely react with 25.00 mL of a 0.500 M thiosulfate solution, K2S2O3(aq)? The chemical equation for the reaction is 2 S2O32-(aq) + I3-(aq) → S4O62-(aq) + 3 I-(aq)?
a. 0.167 m
b. 0.333 m
c. 0.120 m
d. 0.0833 m

Answer:

molarity=0.21M

Explanation:

First write the balance chemical equation:

[tex]2 S_2O_3^{2-}(aq) + I_3^-(aq) \rightarrow S_4O_6^{2-}(aq) + 3 I^-(aq)[/tex]

Calculate the oxidation number of each element both side:

Reactant sideoxidaion number:

[tex]S=+2[/tex]

[tex]O=-2[/tex]

[tex]I=-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

product side oxidation number:

[tex]S=+2.5[/tex]

[tex]O=-2[/tex]

[tex]I=-1[/tex]

 [tex]n-factor \, of\, S_2O_3^{2-}=2\times(2.5-2)=1[/tex]

[tex]n-factor \, of\, I_3^-=2\times(-1+1/3)=-2/3[/tex] this is change in oxidaion numbe rper atom

oxidaion number per molecule=3×(2\3)=2

n-factor of [tex]I_3^-[/tex] =2

[tex]Normality=molarity \times n-factor[/tex].................................1

For thiosulfae solution:

Normality of thiosulfate solution=0.5

lets N1 and N2 are the normality of thiosulfate solution and potassium triiodide solution respectively

lets V1 and V2 are the volume of thiosulfate solution and potassium triiodide solution respectively

[tex]N_1[/tex]=0.5

[tex]V_1[/tex]=25ml

[tex]N_2[/tex]=?

[tex]V_2[/tex]=30ml

[tex]N_1V_1=N_2V_2[/tex]

on putting all the value

[tex]N_2[/tex]=0.42 normality of potassium triiodide

[tex]Normality=molarity \times n-factor[/tex]

molarity=0.42/2=0.21M

molarity=0.21M
