An aqueous solution containing 0.10 g KIO3 ( formula weight =214.0) was treated with an excess of KI solution. The solution was acidified with HCl . The liberated I2 consumed 45 ml of thiosulphate solution to decolorize the blue starch iodine complex. Calculate the molarity of Na2S2O3 ??
My solution is
Redox change
IO3- ---> I2
2IO3- + 12H+ + 10e- = I2 + 6H2O
n factor of KIO3 = 5
Eq wt of KIO3 = 214/5
Gm eq of KIO3 = 0.10/(214/5) = Gm eq of I2
Let the molarity of Na2S2O3 = x
N factor of Na2S2O3 = 1
(0.10 x 5)/(214) = (45/1000) x (x) x 1
or x = 0.052M
But the solution is 0.062M
What is wrong in my solution.
