When `KIO_(3)` solution is heated with excess of oxalic acid it is found that 1.683 g of `KIO_(3)` is consumed per gram of iodine liberated. Formulate the stoichemistry of the products. (Atmic weight of iodine`=127 and K=-39`) |
Answer» Knowing the products, we formulate the stoichiometry and then check its correctness, `2KIO_(3)+6H_(2)C_(2)O_(4)toK_(2)C_(2)O_(4)+underset(254g)(I_(2))+6H_(2)O+10CO_(2)` As per this equation 1 g of iodine corresponds to `(428)/(254)=1.685g`, which agrees with the given data. |
