25.0mL of 0.0500MKX2CrX2OX7 is treated with excess KI in acid and the liberated iodine requires 36.4mL of sodium thiosulphate solution. The molarity of the thiosulphate is
A0.412 M
B0.206 M
C0.103 M
D0.309 M
Answer: B
mol Cr2O7(2-) = 0.0250 x 0.0500 = 1.25e-3; I2 = 3 x that = 3.75e-3; thiosulphate = 2 x I2 = 7.50e-03 mol (6 equivalents per dichromate). Molarity = 7.50e-03/0.0364 L = 0.206 M.
