Deriving a redox equation; ClO- and I2
« on: June 18, 2014, 09:40:09 AM »

Derive a balanced redox equation If I2 is reduced to I- and ClO- is oxidised to ClO3- Am I correct?

I2(aq) +2 e-  :rarrow:      2I-   

ClO- + O2    :rarrow:            ClO3-   

I2(aq) +ClO-  + 2H2O      :rarrow:              2I- + ClO3- + 4H+

No, no balanced equation  and there will be no oxygen be used.

PS: What was the result of your iodometry?

This is what I have for my iodometry

The amount of thiosulphate required to reduced I2  28.5cm3. For every 2 moles of 2S2O32- one mole of I2 is reduced.

2S2O32-  + I2    :rarrow:   S4O62- + 2I-

The moles of 2S2O32- can be calculated using the formula. The volume is divided by 1000 to give the value in dm3

volume x concentration = no. of moles
28.5cm3 x 0.1M               = 0.00285 mols
_______
   1000

Therefore, with a ratio of 2:1, the number of moles of I2 is

0.00285
_______          = 0.001425 mols
      2

The iodine is formed, and held, by mixing KI, KIO3 and HCl

5KI + KIO3 + 6HCl     :rarrow:      3H2O + 6KCl + 3I2

The iodine is liberated from the KI

2KI       :rarrow:      I2 + 2e-

As it takes 2 moles of S2O3 to reduce the I2 to I-.

2S2O32-  + I2  :rarrow:  S4O62- + 2I-                                 
 multiply by 3 to get 3I2

6S2O32-  + 3I2  :rarrow:  3S4O62- + 6I- 

Therefore, the molar ratio of S2O32-  to KI is 6:5 and the ratio of I-, IO3 and S2O32-  is 5:1:6
And so the 5 moles iodide ions react with 1mole of iodate ions.

The concentration of iodide ions can also be determined. The volumes are divided by 1000 to give the result in dm3.





Volume of KIO3 x concentration = volume of S2O3  x concentration

0.005dm3 x concentration    = 0.0285dm3 x 0.1mol dm-3
                      Concentration  =      0.00285
                                                  _______
                                                    0.005dm

                                                  = 0.57 mol dm-3
The ratio of KI to I2 is 5:3 so
0.57mol dm-3 x(5/3) = 0.95 mol dm-3

The ratio of thiosulfate to iodide is 6:5

25.8ml of 0.1 m Thiosulfat gives 0.00258 mol  that means times 5/6 the iodide is 0,00215 mol

This was in 25 ml sample what means you will have 0.086 mol/l

Your titration value changed from 25,8 to 28,5 cm³ what was correct and your sample is now 5 ml and not 25 ml anymore.
