Experiment 1 Redox Titration Using Sodium Thiosulphate synopsis This experiment is to determine the submergence of oxidizing ancestor utilise the atomic number 53/ thiosulphate titration where the reduce ancestor is thou iodate solvent and the oxidizing effect is sodium thiosulphate solution. Potassium iodate solution which is an oxidizing means is added into an excess solution of supermanified potassium iodide. This reaction will electric discharge ace. Potassium iodide is acidified with sulphuric acid and the tincture of iodin released quickly titrated with sodium thiosulphate until it set about light yellow.The iodine then detected with amylum solution and it knock over into dark blue solution and titrated again with sodium thiosulphate until intensityless. From the reaction occur, the make out of the iodine provoke be determined and based on this amount, the preoccupation of oxidizing agent which released iodine can be determined. Introduction Redox titrati on using sodium thiosulphate as a reducing agent is also know as iodometric titration. The reaction is- I2(aq) + 2NA2S2O3(aq) 2Nal(aq) + 2Na2S4O6(aq) I2(aq) + 2S2O32-(aq)2I-(aq) + S4O62-(aq) In this equivalence, I2 has been reduced to I- S2O32-(aq)S4O62-(aq) + 2e- I2(aq) + 2e- 2I-(aq) The iodine/ thiosulphate titration is a oecumenical method for determining the intentness of oxidizing solution. A know volume of an oxidizing agent is added into an excess solution of acidified potassium iodide. The reaction will release iodine- Example a. With KMnO4 2MnO4-(aq) + 16H+ (aq)+ 10I-(aq) 2Mn2+(aq) + 5I2(aq) + 8H2O(I) b. With KIO3 O3-(aq) + 5I-(aq) + 6H (aq) 3I2(aq) + 3H2O(aq) The iodine that is released is titrated with a pattern thiosulphate solution.From the stoichiometry of the reaction, the amount of iodine can be determined and from this the concentration of the oxidizing agent, which released the iodine, can be calculated. Aims a. To prep atomic number 18 a standard solution of p otassium iodate use in determining the concentration of a sodium thiosulphate solution accurately. b. To learn the proper technique for titration. surmise In an iodometric titration, starch solution is used as an indicator as it absorbs the iodine that is released. This absorption will cause the solution to variety show to a dark blue blazon.When this dark blue solution is titrated with the standard thiosulphate, iodine will react with the thiosulphate solution, the dark blue will disappear. So the eradicate point of the titration is when the dark blue solour disappear. It is difficult for iodine to ignore in pissing. one is usually dissolves in water by adding an excess of KI so that KI3, which has similar properties to iodine, is formed.

This solution is added to the conical flask containing the potassium iodate solution and it is immediately titrated with the sodium thiosulphate solution, while it is stirred using a stirrer hot plate, until a ligth yellow solution is obtained. Then, the solution is diluted with distilled water until the total volume is about ampere-second mL. Then, 1. 0 mL of starch solution is added and the titration is continued until the blue colour disappears and the solution become colourless. . The final reading of the burette is recorded in the table 1. 1 . The procedures are repeated twice as the results is more(prenominal) accurate. CALCULATIONS 1.

Sodium thiosulphate acts as reducing agent an at the aforementioned(prenominal) time it undergoes oxidation and release electron. In this titration, potassium iodate, KIO3, is used as an oxidizing agent. Potassium iodate solution is added into an excess solution of acidified potassium. This reaction release iodine. Iodine reacts with sodium thiosulphate. The reaction is I2 (aq) + 2Na2S2O3 (aq) 2NaI (aq) +Na2S4O6 (aq) I2 (aq) + 2S2O32- (aq) 2I- (aq) + N4O62- (aq)In this equation I2 has been reduced to I- 2S2O32- (aq) S4O62- (aq) + 2e- I2 (aq) + 2e- 2I- (aq) In this iodometric titration, we use starch solution as an indicator as it absorbs the iodine that is released. The absorption causes the solution to change to dark blue colour. When the dark blue solution is titrated with the standard thiosulphate, iodine react with the thiosulphate solution. When all the iodine has reacted with the thiosulphate solution, the dark blue colour disappear. So, it is the end point of the titration when the dark blue colour disappear.However, there are a few aspects that need to be considered during the experiment. Firstly, the indicator should only be added after the titration has begun. This is because it is difficu lt to release the iodine while titrating with the thiosulphate. This will preserve the end point. Hence, the addition of the starch should only be done when the colour of the solution is light yellow. Secondly, to avoid the iodine from evaporating, the solution must be titrated immediately with the sodium thiosulphate after the solution is mixed with potassium iodide,KI. The trouble taken Wear safety goggles in the laboratory during the experiment. * swear out the effected skin immediately when in contact with chemicals * Wear gloves when taken the chemical substances. CONCLUSION The experiment was performed in order to determine the concentration of oxidizing solution. Potassium iodate, KIO3, as an oxidizing agent is added into an excess solution of acidified potassium iodide and from the reaction, iodine is released. The iodine that is released is titrated with a standard sodium thiosulphate. From the calculation, the molarity of potassium iodate is 0. 014g/cm3.
