of needs of iodine solution ( goes to ). If the same amount of thiosulphate is instead oxidised completely to sulphate () by water, the volume of chlorine water needed is

  1. A50 mL
  2. B400 mL
  3. C25 mL
  4. D200 mL

Answer: D

mol thiosulphate = 0.0250 x 0.100 = 2.50e-3. With Cl2, 4 mol Cl2 per mol thiosulphate (8 electrons), so mol Cl2 = 1.00e-2. Volume = 1.00e-2/0.0500 = 200 mL. (With iodine only 0.5 mol I2 per mol, giving 25 mL, as stated.)
