Introduction

Name of the experiment (6): Standardization of


sodium thiosulphate (Na2S2O3) solution with a
standard potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7)
solution by Iodometric titrartion

Theory : The objective of this experiment is to


determine the strength of Na2S2O3 , which is very
important industrial raw material . Na2S2O3
solituon is standardized against K2Cr2O7 in
presence of HCl.First, K2Cr2O7 oxidizes the
iodide ion in acidic medium to equivalejnt
amount of iodine. Then, the iodine mformed in
the reaction oxizides Na2S2O3 giving sodium
tetrahionate ion and the end point is detected
by search solution . Here the quantity of the
iodine is equivalent in quantity to the oxidant
being determined.
Preparation of Standard potassium dichromate
(K2Cr2O7) solution:
Weigh out 0.47 g (K2Cr2O7) in a 100 mL volumetric flask.
Add a small amount of distilled water and shake well to
dissolve the solute. Make the solution up to the mark.
Working Procedure:
1. Take the supplied Na2S2O3 solution in the burette and
note the initial reading.
2. Add 10 ml of solution into the conical flask and mix the
solution well.
3. Add 1 kg of and shake to dissolve the salt.
4. Add 3 mL of Conc. HCl slowly while gently rotating the
flask to mix the liquid.
5. Add 4 mL of 10% KI solution in to conical flask.
6. Cover the flask immediately with a watch glass and
allow the solution to stand for about 5 min in the dark
(inside the desk, and color of the solution will be dark
brown).
7. Take out the solution from the dark and dilute it by
adding 50 mL of distilled water.
8. Titrate the liberated iodine with the (Na2S2O3 ) from
the burette until the color fades to turn pale yellow.
9. Now add 10 drops of starch solution to it and the color
of the solution changes to deep violet
10. Continue the addition of (Na2S2O3 ) from the burette
until the color turns to light green or light blue.
11. Note the burette reading and this is the end point.
Repeat the steps 2 to 12 two more times and take the
average of (Na2S2O3) the volume of the solution.

Titration of Sodium thiosulphate with K2Cr2O7 Solution :


Reactions:

1) K2Cr2O7 (aq) + 14HCl(aq) + 6KI(aq) = 2CrCl3 (aq) + 3I2


(g) + 8KCl(aq) + 7H2O (reaction in dark place)
I2+ I- ----- I3 (Tri-iodide)
2) 6 Na2S2O3 (aq) + 3I2 (g) = 6 NaI(aq) + 3 Na2S4O6
(during titration)
(Starch + I3 ----- Starch-I3)
1 mole K2Cr2O7 = 3 mole I2 = 6 mole Na2S2O3
1 mole K2Cr2O7 = 6 mole Na2S2O3

2 26 36.8 10.8
Calculation:
Calculate the molarity of Na2S2O3 solution from the following
formula:
MNa2S2O3 = 6 xMk2Cr2O7 VK2Cr2O7/ VNa2S2O7= 6 X 0.01x 10/ 10.65
X

= 0.056

Error Analysis :
Error = |0.06-0.056 / 0.06| x100
= 0.67%

Learnings
• Identify the start and end points of the reaction.
• Monitoring the burette reading.
• Titrate the liberate iodine by observing a visual color
change.

Conclution
This is how we can calculate the volumn of Na2S2O7. We have to
be very careful while we take the burutte reading. The flask
should cover immediately and the calculation should be done
very carefully.
