Q.

A student standardizes a solution of Na2S2O3 by titrating it against a solution containing a known mass of NaIO3 that has been dissolved in an excess of a freshly prepared solution of KI in dilute HCI. Which of the following errors will lead to a value of the molarity of the thiosulphate solution that is higher than the true value?

a

The student overshoots the endpoint of the titration.

 

b

The NaIO3 is contaminated with NaCI.

c

The  KI/HCI solution is allowed to stand overnight before it is used in the titration.

 

d

The sample of sodium thiosulphate pentahydrate used to make the  Na2S2O3 solution  had partially dehydrated on standing.

Detailed Solution

The NaIO3 is contaminated with NaCI  As a result the molarity of the thiosulphate solution is higher than the true value.

The concentration and, thus, the molarity of the solution increase with the amount of solute present. On the other hand, the concentration and molarity decrease in direct proportion to the amount of solvent present.

Hence the correct option is B.
