Hi guys, doing a chem lab report and I feel a little overwhelmed (skipped chem 11 lol). I'll try to include as much info as possible so as to not miss anything.
Experiment: Equilibrium - the determination of Ksp values for Calcium Iodate
Formulas used:
Ca(IO3)2(s) <-> Ca2+(aq) + 2IO3-(aq)
Ksp = [Ca2+][IO3-]2
5I-(aq) + IO3-(aq) + 6H+(aq) -> 3I2(aq) + 3H2O(l)
1. Obtain 200ml of Standardized 0.050 M Na2S2O3 in a burette
2. Measure out 10 mL of 20% KI solution into a Erlenmeyer flask
3. Obtain 50 mL of room temp (temp value recorded) saturated Ca(IO3)2 solution. Pipette 10 mL into the Erlenmeyer flask. Add 5 mL of 2 M HCl (note colour changes)
4. Titrate the above solution with the Na2S2O until a yellow colour is produced, then add 50 mL of deionized water then 5 mL starch indicator. Continue to titrate until blue-black solution goes clear. (Titre values recorded and an average is achieved within 0.10 mL)
5. Do the same thing with a 5 Celcius saturated Ca(IO3)2 solution.
6. Do it again with further samples of room temp Ca(IO3)2 in 0.10 M Ca(NO3)2
Now the fun part, calculations:
1. Using the average titre of S2O32-, (7.57 mL) calculate the moles of S2O32-, and hence the moles of I2 present in the Erlenmeyer flask.
So, fairly easy calculation? We are given the molarity of Na2S2O3 to be 0.050M so * 7.57 mL = 0.3785 moles of S2O32- (correct?)
Oh and also our chemical formula for this operation is:
2S2O32-(aq) + I2(aq) -> 2I-(aq) + S4O62-
So, is this a 2:1 ratio? So the moles of I is 0.3785/2 = 0.189 moles (correct?)
2. Calculate the moles of IO3- required to produce this amount of I2
At this point I am lost...the lab continues with a few more questions:
3. Calculate the molarity of the IO3- solution
4. Calculate the molarity of the Ca2+ solution
5. Calculate the solubility product (Ksp) for Ca(IO3)2
I'm hoping this is easy for someone to just take a look at and point me in the correct direction. Thanks for your time.
