1.0 Title: Volumetric Analysis Purity and Stoichemistry 2.0 Objective: To determine the purity of a sample of sodium sulphite crystals. 3.0 Theory The sulphite ion can be oxidized quantatively to the sulphite ion by iodine with the presence of the hydrogen carbonate ion. 4.0 Material 0.025 mol dm-3 of aqueous iodine solution, 12.41g sodium thiosulphate (VI) per dm3 solution, 3.15g anhydrous sodium sulphite solution, starch solution, and 2g sodium hydrogen carbonate powder. Apparatus Pipette, burette, retort stand, conical flask, electronic balance, tile, dropper, beaker, filter paper.

5.0 Procedure I. II. 50 of KA1 was pipette into a titration flask. of KA3 was placed slowly into the titration flask

Using another pipette, 25.0

containing KA1 and it was shaken. III. 2g of KA4 was added and the flask was shaken again. The resulting solution was titrated with KA2 using starch as indicator. IV. The titration was repeated as many times as you think necessary.

6.0 Result Titration Number Initial Reading/cm Final Reading/cm3 Volume of KA2/cm3 7.0 Discussion 1. Calculate the average titrate value. Average: (50.0+50.0+50.0) 3 = 50 cm3 2. Write a balanced equation for the reactions iodine and the thiosulphate (VI) ion. SO32- + I2 2 S2O3 + I2 SO42- + 2HI S4O62- + 2I3

3. Calculate the volume of I2 that did not reacted with sulphite ions. 1 mol I2 requires 2 mol of S2O32X mol of I2 requires Y mol of S2O32Y mol S2O32- = mass of Na2S2O4 RMM of Na2S2O4 = 12.41 g 2 (22.99) + 32.07 + 4 (16) = 12.41 g 142.05 g mol-1 = 0.0873 mol

0.0873 mol of S2O32- requires: 0.0873 mol of S2O32- x 1 mol of I2 2 mol of S2O32= 0.044 mol of I2 I2 not used is=1 mol- 0.044 mol = 0.956 mol 1 mol of I2 = 0.025 mol dm-3 0.956 mol of I2 = 0.024 mol dm-3 No of moles, n = MV V = 0.956 mol 0.024 mol dm-3 = 39.83 dm3 of I2 do not reacted with sulphite ions 4. Using your answer to 3, calculate the volume of I2 that reacted with the sulphite ions. 1 mol of I2 = 0.025 mol dm-3 0.044 mol I2 = 1.1x 10 -3 mol dm-3 V = 0.044 mol 1.1 x 10-3 mol dm-3 = 40.00 dm3 of I2 reacted with sulphite ions. 5. Using your answer to 4, a) Calculate the concentration in moldm-3 of the sulphite ions in solution KA3. Concentration = no. of moles volume = 0.0873 mol 40.0 dm3 = 2.183 x 10-3mol dm-3

b) Calculate the mass of NaSO3 present in 250cm3 of KA3 Mass of Na2SO3 = 3.15 g Hence in 250 cm3 = 250 x 3.15 g 1000 = 0.788 g of Na2SO3 6. Using your answer to 5b, calculate the percentage purity of Na2SO3 that used. Percentage purity = mass of reactants mass of sample = 0.788 g 3.15 g = 25.02% x 100

8.0 Discussion From the experiment, the experimental volume of the purity of sodium sulphite crystals that we got is 25.02%. The value maybe not so accurate because of the some mistake and error occur while handling the experiment. One of the errors is the volume of KA1 is not accurate 50.0 cm3 and volume of KA3 is not accurate 25.0 cm3. This is because of the parallax error that occurs while reading the value of volume. Besides that, the fan also was switch on while the KA2, KA3 n KA4 were weight. As a precaution, the eye should be parallel with the value when the reading was taken. The fan also needs to switch off so the weight of KA2, KA3 and KA4 is accurate. 9.0 Conclusion The purity of the sample of sodium sulphite crystal that we got is 25.02%.
