1 Chlorine water is an aqueous solution of chlorine made by bubbling the gas through water. The
amount of chlorine present in the solution can be estimated by reacting the chlorine with aqueous
potassium iodide.
Cl 2 + 2KI 2KCl + I2
The amount of iodine produced by the above reaction can then be determined by titration with
aqueous sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3, using starch as an indicator.
2Na2S2O3 + I2 Na2S4O6 + 2NaI
P is an aqueous solution of iodine produced by mixing 50 cm3 of chlorine water with 200 cm3 of
aqueous potassium iodide, an excess.
Q is 0.0230 mol / dm3 sodium thiosulfate.
(a) Put Q into the burette.
Pipette a 25.0 cm3 (or 20.0 cm3) portion of P into a flask.
Add Q from the burette until the red-brown colour fades to pale yellow, then add a few drops
of the starch indicator. This will give a dark blue solution. Continue adding Q slowly from the
burette until one drop of Q causes the blue colour to disappear, leaving a colourless solution.
Record your results in the table, repeating the titration as many times as you consider
necessary to achieve consistent results.
