72
Q

A

exists as red/brown crystals

73
Q

Iodine vs. Thiosulphate titration

in this titration, what do I2 and Na2S2O3 have in common

A

they are both in an aqueous solution

74
Q

Iodine vs. Thiosulphate titration

4 colours that may be seen in the conical flask during the titration

A

red/brown
straw yellow
blue/black
colourless

75
Q

Iodine vs. Thiosulphate titration

why might red/brown be seen in the conical flask?

A

due to a very high concentration of I2 in the conical flask at the start of the titration

76
Q

Iodine vs. Thiosulphate titration

why might straw yellow be seen in the conical flask?

A

now there is very little I2 left in the conical flask as the s2O3-2 has converted most of it to I-

77
Q

Iodine vs. Thiosulphate titration

why might blue/black be seen in the conical flask?

A

starch indicator is now added

although there is very little I2 left, it is still enough to give the blue black colour

78
Q

Iodine vs. Thiosulphate titration

why might colourless be seen in the conical flask?

A

at this point all of the I2 reactant is used up so that the tiny amount of starch appears colourless

79
Q

Iodine vs. Thiosulphate titration

end point colour change

A

blue/black -> colourless

80
Q

Iodine vs. Thiosulphate titration

why is an indicator even necessary for the titration as there is a colour change without it

A

it would be difficult to note the exact point where straw yellow turns to colourless, but starch is added to give a sharp colour change from blue / black to colourless

81
Q

Iodine vs. Thiosulphate titration

why not add starch in at the start, why do we wait until near the end to add it?

A

if it was added when there was a very high concentration of I2 in the conical flask, it would not disappear immediately at end point, it will persist for a short time afterwards causing inaccuracy

82
Q

Iodine vs. Thiosulphate titration

can you use tap water to make up the thiosulphate solution? why?

A

no because it contains dissolved chlorine and it would react with the iodine

83
Q

Iodine vs. Thiosulphate titration

formula for if chlorine reacted with iodine

A

Cl2 + 2I- –> 2Cl- + I2

84
Q

Iodine vs. Thiosulphate titration

why is the chlorine reacting with the iodine a problem

A

the titration is converting I2 to I- and the chlorine would be turning I- into I2, the opposite
would cause major inaccuracy

85
Q

Iodine vs. Thiosulphate titration

what is also added to the conical flask with the iodine

A

KI crystals

86
Q

Iodine vs. Thiosulphate titration

2 functions of adding KI crystals

A
  • help I2 dissolve in water as it is non polar

- to give the maximum amount of I2 available for reaction
