 VJC 2014 9647/02/PRELIM/14 2 Answer all the questions in the space provided. 1 Planning (P) Aqueous chlorine, Cl2, displaces iodine, I2, from aqueous potassium iodide. If a solution of chlorine is mixed with an excess of aqueous potassium iodide, iodine is displaced in a 1:1 molar ratio with chlorine. The concentration of chlorine in the original solution can therefore be calculated from the concentration of the displaced iodine. I2(aq) + 2Na2S2O3(aq)  2NaI(aq) + Na2S4O6(aq) (a) Write an equation for the reaction between aqueous chl orine, and an excess of aqueous potassium iodide. ………………………………………………………………………………………………….. [1] (b) You are to plan an experiment to determine as accura tely as possible the concentration of a saturated aqueous solution of chlorine by titration. The approximate solubility of chlorine is 5 g dm–3 at 25 oC. You are provided with the following materials:  saturated aqueous chlorine;  solid sodium thiosulfate Na2S2O3.5H2O;  concentrated aqueous potassium iodide. This will be used in excess.  the apparatus and chemicals normally found in a school or college laboratory. Your plan should include details of:  a calculation of the approximate concentration of sat urated aqueous chlorine in mol dm–3 at 25 oC; [Ar: Cl, 35.5]  a detailed description of the method for preparing a solution of aqueous sodium thiosulfate that can be used in the titration. In a titration, it is usual for the titre volume to be approximate ly equal to that of the volume of solution pipetted. Calculate the mass of sodium thiosulfate, Na 2S2O3.5H2O, which will produce a solution suitable for use in this titration. The relevant calculations and reasoning must be shown in full; [Ar: H, 1.0; O, 16.0; Na, 23.0; S, 32.1]  a step–by–step description of how you would carry out sufficient titrations using a suitable indicator to allow an accurate end–point to be obtained;  an outline calculation to show how the results are to be used to determine the accurate concentration of the aqueous chlorine. Assume that the titre volume used is w cm3. …………………………………………………………………………............................. ………………………………………………………………………................................ …………………………………………………………………………............................. ………………………………………………………………………................................

Each orbital contains a ma ximum of two electrons. However, the number of orbitals that make up a subshell may or may not be identical to that on Earth. Figure 1 repre
