Equation between potassium iodate and sodium thiosulphate?

This reaction may be misunderstood as a direct reaction between the thiosulphate and iodate ions , however, in practice an iodide and acid mediated production of iodine from the iodate is used to react with the thiosulphate. A standard reaction used to calibrate a solution of sodium thiosulphate is as follows: Acid and potassium iodide are added to a solution of potassium iodate getting the following reaction: KIO3 + 5KI + 3H2SO4 = 3I2 + 3K2SO4 + 3H2O represented by the following ionic equation: IO3- + 5I- + 6H+ = 3I2 + 3H2O Thiosulpathe is titrated against this solution (effectively against iodine): I2 + 2Na2S2O3 = Na2S4O6 + 2NaI represented by the following ionic equation: I2 + 2S2O32- = S4O62- + 2I- where the dark brown coloured solution of iodine turns pale yellow and finally colourless as the reaction proceeds (starch is used as indicator after the pale yellow transition forming a black solution due to an iodine-starch complex which turns colourless upon further addition of thiosulphate).


Standardization of sodium thiosulphate by potassium iodate?

1. Firstly wash out a burette twice with distilled water. 2. Clean the washed burette with the approximately 0.1 mol dm-3 standardised sodium thiosulphate, which is going to be prepared. 3. Fill the burette with approximately 0.1 mol dm-3 standardised sodium thiosulphate, until the bottom of the meniscus is at the 0 cm3 mark on the burette. 4. Pipette 25cm3 of 0.020 mol dm-3 potassium Iodate solution into a 250 cm3 conical flask. 5. Using a 10cm3 measuring cylinder, measure out 10cm3 of 0.5 mol dm-3 potassium iodide and add it to the conical flask. 6. Using a 10cm3 measuring cylinder, measure out 10cm3of 1 mol dm-3 sulphuric acid and add it to the conical flask. At this stage the three solutions will be mixed together in the conical flask, to produce iodine. 7. Record the initial reading on the burette (0 cm3) to work out the titre, record this to two decimal places 8. Turn the burette tap, so the 0.1 mol dm-3 sodium thiosulphate pours into the iodine in the conical flask (adding small amounts and then stirring the conical flask) 9. When the red/brown iodine solution in the flask turns yellow, stop titrating the 0.1 mol dm-3 sodium thiosulphate into the flask 10. Add a few drops of the starch indicator to the conical flask; it will turn dark blue/black colour to intensify the colour change. 11. Turn the burette tap back on, add the 0.1 mol dm-3 sodium thiosulphate drop wise, whilst swirling the flask, until the dark blue/black colour disappears. 12. Record the final burette reading, from the point where the bottom of the meniscus is. 13. Record the result in the table, and then calculate the titre value by finding the difference between the initial reading and the final reading. 14. Repeat the titration to obtain concordant results, whereby the titre is 0.1 cm3 difference at max. 15. Obtain all your results and present them in a table, to two decimal places.


Why silver bromide is stored in brown bottles?

It is light sensitive.


What happens when Ferrous sulphate reacts with sodium hydroxide?

Sodium displaces the sulfate to make sodium sulfate; iron displaces the hydroxide to make ferrous hydroxide which becomes brown.


Why solutions of potassium permanganate are stored in dark reagent bottle?

Under sunlight, permanganate solution will decompose to give MnO2 and O2 ie 2KMnO4(aq)→K2MnO4(aq)+MnO2(aq)+O2(g) As such, brown bottles are used to cut off sunlight.

Why is chloroform stored in a dark brown bottle?

this is becauseChloroform decomposes when exposed to direct sun light or high temperatures in the absence of air, hence the dark brown bottles. BUT Chloroform also decomposes in a dark place in the presence of air.
