A solution of is standardized iodometrically against 0.1262 g of where changes to . This process requires 45 mL of the solution. What is the normality of the ? [Mw. of ]
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
To refine the solution, we need to correctly apply the concept of normality and equivalents.
The reaction involves BrO₃⁻ changing to Br⁻.
The change in oxidation state for Br is from +5 to -1, which is a change of 6 electrons.
Therefore, the n-factor for KBrO₃ is 6.
Number of equivalents of KBrO₃ = (mass / molar mass) * n-factor
For standardization, equivalents of Na₂S₂O₃ = equivalents of KBrO₃.
Normality (N) = equivalents / Volume (L)
Rounding to one significant figure, the normality is 0.1 N.
The final answer is .
