Йодометрическое титрование отбеливателя

Определение концентрации гипохлорита натрия в бытовом отбеливателе

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

Цель

Определить концентрацию гипохлорита натрия (NaOCl) в коммерческом отбеливателе методом йодометрического титрования тиосульфатом натрия.

Предпосылки

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.

Предупреждения по безопасности

  • 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

Материалы

  • 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)

Оборудование

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

Процедура

1

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

3 мин Bleach is irritating
2

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

2 мин
3

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

2 мин
4

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

1 мин Work in ventilated area
5

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

5 мин
6

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

2 мин
7

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

5 мин
8

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

15 мин

Ожидаемые результаты

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.

Уборка

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