Question
12 g of an impure sample of arsenious oxide was dissolved in water containing 7.5 g of sodium bicarbonate and the resulting solution was diluted to 250 mL. 25 mL of this solution was completely oxidised by 22.4 mL of a solution of iodine. 25 mL of this iodine solution reacted with same volume of a solution containing 24.8 g of sodium thiosulphate solution (Na2S2O3⋅5H2O) in one litre. Calculate the percentage of arsenious oxide in the sample. (Atomic mass of As=75).
