Consider the following reaction. I– 2 H2O2 (l) 2 H2O (l) + O2 (g) A solution contains 15 mL 0.1 M KI, 15 mL of DI water and 5 mL of 3% H2O2. After the decomposition of H2O2 is complete, you titrate the solution with 0.1 M AgNO3. If the catalyst, I–, is not consumed in the reaction and is completely recovered, what volume of the 0.1 M AgNO3 is required to reach the end point?

Answer:

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction is:

[tex]2H_2O_{(l)} \to^{I^-}} 2H_2O_{(l)}+O_2_{(g)}[/tex]

From above equation  [tex]I^-[/tex] serves as catalyst which is not consumed by the reaction and also it is completely recovered; as a result to that , the full volume of KI will definitely react with AgNO₃.

Given that :

the volume of potassium iodide [tex]V_{KI} = 15 \ ml[/tex]

the molarity of potassium [tex]M_{KI} = 0.1 \ M[/tex]

the volume of distilled water [tex]V_W = 15 \ mL[/tex]

The volume of 3% [tex]H_2O_2 \ \ V_{H_2O_2} = 5 \ mL[/tex]

Molarity of AgNO₃ [tex]M_{AgNO_3} = 0.1 \ M[/tex]

Let take an integral look with the reaction between KI and AgNO₃; we have

[tex]KI + AgNO_3 \to KNO_3 + AgI[/tex]

At the end point; the moles of KI will definitely be equal to the moles of AgNO₃

So;

[tex]M_{KI}V_{KI}= M_{AgNO_3}V_{AgNO_3} \\ \\ V_{AgNO_3} = \dfrac{M_{KI}V_{KI}}{M_{AgNO_3}} \\ \\ \\ V_{AgNO_3} = \dfrac{ 0.1*15}{0.1}[/tex]

[tex]V_{AgNO_3} = 15 \ ml[/tex]

Thus; the volume of 0.1 M AgNO₃  needed to reach the end point is 15 mL
