Question

One gram of Na3AsO4 is boiled with excess of solid KI in the presence of strong HCl. The iodine evolved is absorbed in KI solution and titrated against 0.2N hyposolution.
AsO43+2H++2IAsO33+H2O+I2
Calculate the volume of thiosulphate hypo consumed, given that the atomic weight of As=75 amu.

A

Solution

The correct option is D 48.1 mL
Change in oxidation state of As is 2.
Molecular weight of Na3AsO4 is 208 g/mol. So, millimoles of the compound in 1 g =4.81 mmol
Millimoles of I2 formed =4.812
Hyposolution oxidizes I2 back to I.
Volume of 0.2 N hyposolution required =4.812×0.2=48.1
