Selenium in a 10.0g soil sample is distilled as the tetrabromide, which is collected in aqueous solution where it is hydrolyzed to SeO32-. The SeO32- is determined iodometrically requiring 4.5ml of standard thiosulfate solution for the titration. If the theosulfate titer is 0.049mg K2Cr2O7/ml, what is the concentration of selenium in the soil in ppm?
Thanks!
The reactions taking place are:
Se + 2 Br2 ------> SeBr4 …..(1)
2 SeBr4 + 3 H2O -------> Se2O32- + 6 H+ + 8 Br- …..(2)
Se2O32- + 4 I- + 6 H+ ------> 2 Se + I2 + 3 H2O ……(3)
I2 + 2 S2O32- -------> 2 I- + S4O62- …..(4)
As per the balanced stoichiometric reaction (4),
1 mole I2 = 2 moles thiosulfate
Again, the standardization of thiosulfate with dichromate can be shown as:
6 I- + Cr2O72- + 14 H+ -------> 3 I2 + 2 Cr3+ + 7 H2O ……(5)
I2 + 2 S2O32- -------> 2 I- + S4O62- ……(6)
As per equations (5) and (6),
1 mole Cr2O72- = 3 moles I2
1 mole I2 = 2 moles thiosulfate.
Therefore, 1 mole Cr2O72- = 6 moles thiosulfate.
Therefore, 1 mole thiosulfate = (1/6)*(moles of Cr2O72-)
The concentration of K2Cr2O7 = 0.049 mg/mL.
Molar mass of K2Cr2O7 = 294.185 g/mole.
Therefore, moles of K2Cr2O7 = (0.049 mg)*(1 g/1000 mg)*(1 mole/294.185 g) = 1.6656*10-7 mole.
Moles of thiosulfate neutralized = (1 mole K2Cr2O7)*(6 moles thiosulfate/1 mole K2Cr2O7) = 9.9936*10-7 mole.
Concentration of thiosulfate = (9.9936*10-7 mole)/[(1 mL)*(1 L/1000 mL)] = 9.9936*10-4 mol/L = 9.9936*10-4 M.
Volume of thiosulfate required for Se titration = 4.5 mL; therefore, moles of thiosulfate required for Se titration = (4.5 mL)*(9.9936*10-4 mol/L) = 4.49712*10-3 mmole.
As per stoichiometric equation (4),
Millimoles of I2 generated in Se titration = (4.49712*10-3 mmole)*(1 mole I2/2 moles thiosulfate) = 2.24856*10-3 mmole.
As per stoichiometric equation (3),
Millimoles of Se2O32- neutralized = millimoles of I2 generated = 2.24856*10-3 mmole.
As per stoichiometric equation (2),
2 mole SeBr4 = 1 mole Se2O32-
Therefore, millimoles of SeBr4 formed = (2.24856*10-3 mmole)*(2 mole SeBr4/1 mole Se2O32-) = 4.49715*10-3 mmole.
As per stoichiometric equation (1),
1 mole Se = 1 mole SeBr4.
Therefore, millimoles of Se in the sample = 4.49712*10-3 mmole.
Atomic mass of Se = 78.96 g/mole.
Therefore, mass of Se in the soil = (4.49712*10-3 mmole)*(1 mole/1000 mmole)*(78.96 g/1 mole)*(1000 mg/1 g) = 0.35509 mg.
Mass of soil taken = 10.0 g = (10.0 g)*(1 kg/1000 g) = 0.001 kg.
Therefore, concentration of Se in ppm = (0.35509 mg Se)/(0.001 kg soil) = 355.09 mg/kg ≈ 355.1 ppm (ans).

A. In some cases, multiple-step dilutions are required during sample preparation. Consider a case in which 50μL of concentrated dye solution was first diluted to 250mL with distilled water. From this resulting solution, 600μL was transferred to a 100mL volumetric flask and diluted with water to the mark. Calculate the dilution multiplication factor that will be needed to be applied before reporting the concentration in the original solution. Show your calculations. B.

Introduction Titration is a common analytical technique that is used to verify the concentrations of chemicals before they are sold as commercial products, in a process known as quality control. In this lab, you will be using a redox titration to find the concentration of the strong oxidizing agent hypochlorite (CIO) which is the active ingredient in bleach. Oxidizing and reducing agents are often determined using a redox titration....

For the preparation and standardization of NaOH with KHP im supposed to boil water for 1hr and 30 min to remove CO2....the problem is that if I don't boil it for that long and (30 min) b/c of not enough time but I put the water I boiled for 1/2 hr aproximately into a NaOH bottle with a CO2 absorber and stored it there for a few days. I would assume that I would have to boil the water again...but...
