2 ©YIJC [Turn over Answer all the questions in the spaces provided. 1 Determination of a value for the solubility product, Ksp, of calcium iodate(V), Ca(IO3)2 The solubility in water of solid calcium iodate(V), Ca(IO3)2, is low. When a sample of this salt is mixed with water, a small amount dissolves and an equilibrium between the solid salt and its aqueous ions is established. Ca(IO3)2(s) ⇌ Ca2+(aq) + 2IO3−(aq) If separate aqueous solutions containing Ca2+ ions and IO3− ions are mixed, some of the solid salt is formed and, again an equilibrium is established. When specified volumes of potassium iodate and calcium nitrate are mixed, some calcium iodate(V) is formed as a white solid. The mixture should be left to stand for some time. After the solid is removed by filtration, the amount of iodate(V) ions left in the filtrate is determined as described below. When excess potassium iodide, KI, is added to an acidified solution containing iodate(V) ions, iodine is liberated as follows. reaction 1 IO3−(aq) + 5I−(aq) + 6H+ → 3I2(aq) + 3H2O(l) The liberated iodine is then titrated with a standard solution of sodium thiosulfate. reaction 2 2S2O32−(aq) + I2(aq) → 2I−(aq) + S4O62−(aq) In this question, you will perform a titration to determine the solubility product, Ksp, of calcium iodate(V). You are provided with: • FA 1, 0.200 mol dm−3 potassium iodate, KIO3 • FA 2, 1.00 mol dm−3 calcium nitrate, Ca(NO3)2 • FA 3, 0.0400 mol dm−3 sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3 • FA 4, aqueous solution of potassium iodide, KI • FA 5, dilute hydrochloric acid, HCl You are also provided with starch solution.

Use a measuring cylinder to transfer 20 cm3 of FA 2 to the same beaker. 3. A precipitate will form, stir the mixture thoroughly. Leave this mixture to stand for 15 minutes to allow equilibrium to be reached. While you are waiting for the mixture to reach equilibrium, proceed with Question 2(a). (b) (i) Analysing the filtrate 1. Filter the reaction mixture through a dry filter paper into a dry conical flask, labelled FA 6. This is the filtrate, FA 6. Do not wash the white precipitate with water. 2. Fill a burette with FA 3. 3. Use a pipette to transfer 10.0 cm3 of FA 6 into a 250 cm3 conical flask. 4. Use a measuring cylinder to add about 10 cm3 of FA 4 to the conical flask. 5. Use a measuring cylinder to add about 2 cm3 of FA 5 to the conical flask. 6. Run FA 3 from the burette into the conical flask until the brown colour of the iodine fades to a pale yellow colour. 7. Add about 5 drops of starch solution to the conical flask. Continue adding FA 3 until the blue-black colour just disappears. 8. Record your titration results, to an appropriate level of precision, in the space provided below. 9. Repeat points 3 to 7 until consistent results are obtained. Rinse the conical flask thoroughly between each titration. Titration results [3]

Show clearly how you obtained this volume. volume of FA 3 = cm3 [3] (c) (i) Calculate the amount of S2O32− ions present in the volume of FA 3 recorded in (b)(ii). amount of S2O32− ions present in FA 3 = [1] (ii) Calculate the amount of IO3− ions present in 10.0 cm3 of the filtrate, FA 6. amount of IO3− ions present in 10.0 cm3 of the filtrate, FA 6 = [1] (iii) Calculate the total amount of IO3− ions present in the filtrate, FA 6. amount of IO3− ions present in the filtrate, FA 6 = [1]

5 ©YIJC [Turn over (d) (i) Using the initial amount of IO3− ions in the reaction mixture prepared in (a), and your answer from (c)(iii), calculate the amount of IO3− ions precipitated as Ca(IO3)2. amount of IO3− ions precipitated as Ca(IO3)2 = [1] (ii) Deduce the amount of Ca2+ ions removed by precipitation in (a), point 3, and hence, calculate the amount of Ca2+ ions left in FA 6. amount of Ca2+ ions left in FA 6 = [2] (e) (i) Write an expression for the solubility product, Ksp, of calcium iodate(V). [1] (ii) Use this expression, together with your answers to parts (c)(iii) and (d)(ii) to calculate a value for this solubility product. Include units in your answer. solubility product = [1]

Predict, qualitatively, the effect of such an addition on the filtrate, and on the magnitude of the mean titre, in part (b)(ii). Explain your answer. predictions explanation [2] (g) In part (b)(i), point 1, you are told to use dry apparatus and to avoid washing the residue with water. Suggest and explain the likely consequences on your mean titre value in part (b)(ii) if you failed to follow these instructions. [1]

7 ©YIJC [Turn over (h) A teacher performed this experiment and obtained a value for the solubility product, Ksp, of 2.77 × 10−5. A literature value for this solubility product is 6.71 × 10−6 at 20 oC. You should assume that apparatus of the same precision was used in each case. Give a possible explanation for the higher value of Ksp obtained by the teacher. Suggest an improvement which might allow a value closer to the literature value to be obtained. explanation improvement [1] [Total: 18]
