Question

Calculate the amount (in milligrams) of SeO23 in solution on the basis of following data:

20 mL of M60 solution of KBrO3 was added to a definite volume of SeO23 solution. The bromine evolved was removed by boiling and excess of KBrO3 was back titrated with 5 mL of M25 solution of NaAsO2. The reactions are given below.
1)SeO32+BrO3+HSeO42+Br2+H2O
2)BrO3+AsO2+H2OBr+AsO43+H+
(Atomic mass of K=39,Br=80,As=75,Na=23,O=16,Se=79)

Solution

The correct option is B 95
The total amount of KBrO3=20×160=0.333 millimoles.
Amount of NaAsO2=5×125=0.2 millimoles
The amount of KBrO3 used for the titration with NaAsO2=0.26 millimoles.
The amount of KBrO3 used for the titration with SeO23=0.333 millimoles 0.26 millimoles =0.3 millimoles.
The number of moles of SO23 originally present in the solution =0.3×52=0.75.
The molar mass of SeO23 =79+3(16)=79+48=127 g/mol.
The amount of SO23 originally present in the solution =0.75 millimoles ×127 g/mol =95 mg.
