Titulação Iodométrica de Alvejante

Determinação da concentração de hipoclorito de sódio em alvejante doméstico

Titrations Advanced (University) 50 min ~$15,00

Objetivo

Determinar a concentração de hipoclorito de sódio (NaOCl) em alvejante comercial usando titulação iodométrica com tiossulfato de sódio.

Contexto

In iodometric titrations, the analyte (hypochlorite) oxidizes iodide ions to iodine, which is then titrated with sodium thiosulfate. The endpoint is detected using starch indicator. This indirect method is widely used for determining the concentration of oxidizing agents.

Avisos de segurança

  • Bleach is an irritant and oxidizer
  • Do not mix bleach with acid in large quantities — produces chlorine gas
  • Work in a well-ventilated area or fume hood
  • Wear safety goggles and gloves

Materiais

  • Household bleach (50 mL)
    Dilute 1:10 before use
  • Potassium iodide (KI) (5 g)
    Excess
  • Sodium thiosulfate (Na₂S₂O₃) (100 mL)
    0.1M standardized
  • Starch indicator (10 mL)
    1% solution
  • Acetic acid (CH₃COOH) (20 mL)
    2M
  • Distilled water (300 mL)

Equipamentos

50 mL burette Burette stand and clamp 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask 25 mL pipette 25 mL volumetric flask

Procedimento

1

Prepare a 1:10 dilution of the bleach with distilled water in the volumetric flask.

3 min Bleach is irritating
2

Pipette 25.0 mL of the diluted bleach into the Erlenmeyer flask.

2 min
3

Add approximately 2 g of potassium iodide. The solution will turn brown/yellow as iodine is liberated.

2 min
4

Add 10 mL of 2M acetic acid to acidify the solution.

1 min Work in ventilated area
5

Fill the burette with 0.1M sodium thiosulfate. Begin titrating the brown iodine solution.

5 min
6

When the solution becomes pale yellow, add 1 mL of starch indicator. The solution turns dark blue.

2 min
7

Continue titrating drop by drop until the blue color disappears and the solution becomes colorless.

5 min
8

Record the volume. Repeat for concordant results. Calculate the NaOCl concentration accounting for the dilution.

15 min

Resultados esperados

Household bleach typically contains 3-8% NaOCl. The endpoint should show a sharp transition from blue to colorless. Multiple concordant results should agree within 0.10 mL.

Limpeza

Neutralize iodine waste with sodium thiosulfate before disposal. Rinse all glassware. Ensure proper ventilation during cleanup.
