Question
One gram of commercial AgNO3 is dissolved in 50 mL of water. It is treated with 50 mL of a KI solution. The silver iodide thus precipitated in filtered off. Excess of KI in the filtrate is titrated with (M/10)KIO3 solution in presence of 6 M HCl till all I− ions are converted into ICI. It requires 50 ml. of (M/10)KIO3 solution. 20 mL of the same stock solution of KI requires 30 mL of (M/10)KIO3 under similar conditions. Calculate the percentage of AgNO3 in the sample.
(Reaction: KIO3+2KI+6HCl→3ICI+3KCl+3H2O )
