A forensic chemist needed to determine the conventration of HCN in the blood of a suspected homicle victimand decided to titrate a diluted sample fo the blood with iodine, using the reaction, HCN_((aq.)) + I_(3)^(-) rarr ICN_((aq.)) + 2I_((aq.))^(-) + H_((aq.))^(+) Adiluted blood sample of volume15mL was titrated to the stoihometric point with 5.21mL of an I_(3)^(-) aolurion. The molarity of I_(3)^(-) in the solution was determinedby titrating it against arsenci (III) oxide, which in solution formsarenious acid, H_93)As)_(3). It was foundthat 10.42 mL of thetri-iodide solution was neededto reach teh stoichmetric point witha 10mL sample of 0.1235 M H_(3) AsO_(3) in the reaction. H_(3)AsO_(3(aq)) +v I_(3(aq))^(-) + H_(2)O_((l)) rarr H_(3)AsO_(4(aq)) + 3I_((aq.))^(-) + 2H_((aq.))^(+) (a) What is the normally of tri-iodie ions in the initlal solution? (b) What is the molar concentration of HCN in the blood sample? |
