    Default Chem 12 help

    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.

    Oh also, some info that may help:

    Prelab question

    A 10.00 mL sample of saturated Ca(IO3)2 was collected from a solution at 10.2oC. After adding excess KI and H+, the resulting solution was titrated with 0.0543 M Na2S2O3. If 8.52 mL of Na2S2O3 was used, calculate the Ksp of Ca(IO3)2 following the steps in the Treatment of Data section. (the steps I listed in the OP)

    Answers:

    Moles of IO3- = 7.71 x 10-5
    Ksp = 2.29 x 10-7

    Here's a start hard thing about Chem is it is easier shown I think. So start at these if you don't know these by the back of your hand.

    IO3 is a 1:2 ratio with I2 and oxygen is a 1:2 ratio as well, so get the mass of the compound by adding X2 Iodine + X2 Oxygen from the compound, then divide by the molar mass of IO3.

    Kinda Grave dig, I wish I had saw this earlier, I'm Taking AP chem this year and we did this lab, did you get it? Have anymore chem questions feel free to ask me!
