Analysis of Bleach by Iodometry

Objective: A) to prepare and standardize a solution of Na₂S₂O₃ -5H₂O using KBrO₃ as a primary standard.

B) To use the standardized Na₂S₂O₃ solution to determine the concentration of OCl¯ in a

bleach sample.

Equations: Part A:

1) BrO₃¯ + I¯ Br¯ + I₂

2) I₂ + S₂O₃¯² S₄O₆ +I¯

Part B:

1) ClO¯ +I¯ Cl¯ + I₂

2) I₂ + S₂O₃¯² I¯ + S₄O₆¯²
