Question

2.480 g of KClO3 are dissolved in conc. HCl and the solution was boiled. Chlorine gas evolved in the reactions was in then passed through a solution of KI and liberated iodine was titrated with 100 ml of hypo. 12.3 ml of same hypo solution required 24.6 ml of 0.5 iodine for complete neutralization. Calculate % purity of KClO3 sample.

Solution

From the given data we can write the following equation.
2KClO3+12HCl2KCl+6H2O+6Cl2
Cl2+2KI2KCl+I2
Molar equivalent of I2= Molar equivalent of Hypo= 100×1
mM of Cl2=mM of I2=1002=50
mM of KClO3=2×mM of Cl26=2×506=503
W122.5×1000=503
KClO3=2.042
% of KClO3=2.0422.48×100=82.32 %
