Question

Calculate the percentage purity of a sample of bleaching powder from the following data:
14.3 g of a sample of bleaching powder when treated with acetic acid and excess of KI, liberated iodine which required 100 mL 1 M sodium thiosulphate solution:
Ca(OCl)2+2CH3COOHCa(CH3COO)2+H2O+Cl2
Cl2+2KI2KCl+I2
2Na2S2O3+I2Na2S4O6+2NaI

Solution

Given,
2Na2S2O3+I2Na2S4O6+2NaI
Again, 100 mL 1 M sodium thiosulphate solution (Na2S2O3)
= 0.1 mol of Na2S2O3
2 moles Na2S2O3 reacts with 1 mole of I2
Thus, 0.1 moles Na2S2O3 will react with 0.05 moles of I2.
Again,
Cl2+2KI2KCl+I2
So, 1 mole of I2 is produced from 1 mole of Cl2
Thus, 0.05 moles of I2 will be produced from 0.05 moles of Cl2
Given,
Ca(OCl)2+2CH3COOHCa(CH3COO)2+H2O+Cl2
So, 1 mole Cl2 is obtained fro 1 mole of Ca(OCl)2.
Thus 0.05 moles of Cl2 will be obtained from 0.05 moles of Ca(OCl)2.

Now, 0.05 moles of Ca(OCl)2 =0.05×143 g=7.15 g

Percentage purity of the sample =7.1514.30×100=50%
