Question

For estimating ozone in the air, a certain volume of air is passed through an acidified potassium iodide solution. Oxygen is evolved and iodide is then oxidized to give iodine. When such a solution is acidified, free iodine is evolved which can be titrated with standard sodium thio-sulphate solution. In an experiment 10 litre of air at 1 atm and 27oC were passed through an alkaline KI solution, at the end, the iodine entrapped in the solution on titration as above required 1.5 litre of 0.01 N Na2S2O3 solution. Calculate volume percent of 0.3 in sample.

Solution

The correct option is D 1.8
2KI+O3+H2O2KOH+I2+O2
Meq. of I2= Meq. of Na2S2O3=150×0.01=15 (valence factor of I2=2)
mM of I2=152=7.5
Also, mM of O3= mM of I2 (mole ratio 1:1)
mM of O3=7.5
or mole of O3=7.5×103
PO3=nRTV=7.5×103×0.0821×30010=184.725×104 atm
Vol%ofO3=184.725×104×1001=1.847%
