2 NJC SH2 Preliminary Examination 9729/04/19 1 Determination of the solubility product of calcium iodate(V) When solid calcium iodate( V) is added to water to form a saturated solution, an equilibrium between the undissolved salt and its aqueous ions is established. Ca(IO3)2 (s) Ca2+ (aq) + 2IO3 ─ (aq) The solubility product, Ksp , of calcium iodate(V) is expressed as follows. Ksp = [Ca2+(aq)] [IO3─(aq)]2 The solubility product can be found by determining the equilibrium concentration of IO3─ ions in a saturated solution of calcium iodate(V) through a redox titration. Iodate(V) ions, IO3─, react with iodide ions according to the following equation. IO3─ (aq) + 5I⁻(aq) + 6H+ (aq) 3I2 (aq) + 3H2O (l) The iodine produced in this reaction may be titrated against sodium thiosulfate using starch solution as indicator. Thiosulfate ions react with iodine according to the following equation: 2S2O32–(aq) + I2(aq)  S4O62–(aq) + 2I–(aq) In this question, you will prepare a saturated solution of calcium iodate(V) to carry out the redox titration. Using the experimental results, you will determine the solubility product of calcium iodate(V). You are provided with: FA 1 is solid calcium iodate(V), Ca(IO3)2 FA 2 is 0.05 mol dm3 sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3 FA 3 is 0.50 mol dm3 potassium iodide, KI FA 4 is 0.50 mol dm3 sulfuric acid, H2SO4 FA 5 is starch indicator Prepar
