A 10.00 cm3 sample of bleach was reacted with a solution of excess iodide ions, and the liberated iodine was then titrated
with Na2S2O3. The titration required 38.65 cm3 of 0.0200 mol dm-3 Na2S2O3. Determine the concentration of OCl- in the
bleach.
*The WINKLER METHOD can be used to measure biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), used as a measure of the
degree of _______________________ in a water sample (Dissolved oxygen content is one of the most important
indicators of water quality, as oxygen is essential to the survival of aquatic life.)
*BOD
the amount of _________________ used to decompose the organic matter in a sample of water over a specified
the BOD is expressed in ______ (1 mg dm-3 = 1 ppm)
[BOD = *______ ppm – (concentration of dissolved O2 in sample, in ppm)]
*Max solubility of O2 in water at 293 K = 9.00 ppm.
**For every ONE mole of O2 in the water, _____ mol of S2O32- are used.
EXAMPLE PROBLEM (WINKLER METHOD): A 500 cm3 sample of water was collected and tested for dissolved
oxygen by the addition of MnSO4 in basic solution, followed by the addition of acidified KI. It was found that 12.50 cm3
of 0.0500 mol dm-3 Na2S2O3(aq) was required to react with the iodine produced.
(a) Calculate the dissolved oxygen content of the water in g dm-3, using the equations given above. (Ans.: 0.0102 g dm-3)
(b) Deduce the BOD, in ppm, of the water sample, assuming that the maximum solubility of oxygen is 9.00 ppm at 293 K. (Ans. -1.2)
(c) Comment on the BOD value obtained with reference to the following data:
1. A bag of ‘road salt’, used to melt snow from roads, contains a mixture of calcium chloride, CaCl2, and sodium chloride,
NaCl. A 2.765 g sample of the mixture was analyzed by first converting all the calcium into calcium oxalate, CaC2O4.
This was then dissolved in H2SO4, and titrated with 0.100 mol dm-3 KMnO4 solution. The titration required 24.65 cm3 of
KMnO4(aq) and produced Mn2+(aq), CO2(g) and H2O(l).
2. Alcohol levels in blood can be determined by a redox titration with potassium dichromate, K 2Cr2O7, according to the
following equation.
C2H5OH(aq) + 2Cr2O72-(aq) + H+(aq) 2CO2(g) + 4Cr3+(aq) + 11H2O(l)
(a) Determine the alcohol percentage in the blood by mass if a 10.000 g sample of blood requires 9.25 cm3 of
0.0550 mol dm-3 K2Cr2O7 solution to reach equivalence.
(b) Describe the change in colour that would be observed during the titration.
