An acidified solution of KIO3 oxidises potassium iodide to iodine. KIO3 + 5 I- + 6 H+ → K+ + 3 I2 + 3 H2O The iodine produced can be titrated with Q, a solution of an organic acid. 1 mole of iodine reacts with 1 mole of the organic acid. You are going to determine the relative molecular mass of the organic acid by using titration. Q was prepared by dissolving 10.0 g of the solid organic acid, R, in 1.00 dm 3 of water. Read all the instructions carefully before starting the experiments. Instructions (a) Put Q into the burette. Pipette 25.0 cm 3 of P into a flask. Add 1 test-tube full of aqueous potassium iodide solution and one test-tube full of dilute sulfuric acid to P in the flask. Swirl to mix the solutions well. Add Q from the burette until the red-brown colour fades to pale yellow, then add a few drops of the starch solution. This will give a deep blue, almost black colour with a small quantity of iodine remaining. Continue adding Q slowly from the burette until one drop of Q causes the blue colour to disappear, leaving a colourless solution. Record your titration results in the space provided, repeating the titration as many times as you consider necessary to achieve consistent results. Results [5]

The relative molecular mass of C is 192. Experiment 1 Measure 200.0 cm3 of deionised water using a measuring cylinder and pour it into a Styrofoam cup, nested in a beaker. Add 0.04 moles
