Question

Chile salt petre is a natural source of NaNO3 which also contains NaIO3. The NaIO3 can be used as a source of iodine produced in the following reactions:
IO3+3HSO3I+3H+3SO24 ... (i)
5I+IO3+6H+3I2(s)+3H2O ... (ii)
1.00 L of the starting solution which contains 5.80 g NaIO3 per litre is treated with stoichiometric quantity of NaHSO3. Further, a quantity of the starting solution is added to the reaction mixture to bring about the second reaction. [I=127,Na=23,S=32]
How many grams of NaHSO3 are required in step (i)?

Solution

The correct option is C 9.14 g
5.8gNaIO3=5.8198 molNaIO3

NaHSO3=3×5.8198mol

=3×5.8198×104g

=9.14g.

Hence, the correct answer is (C).
