SAMPLE PROBLEMS
1. The compound potassium hydrogen iodate, KH(IO3)2 (M.M. = 389.91) is a strong monoprotic acid that is also an
excellent primary standard. A 0.9865 g sample of AR grade KH(IO3)2 was dissolved in distilled water and needed 21.24
mL of NaOH to reach the phenolphthalein end point. Calculate the molarity of the NaOH solution.

2. A 0.6334 g sample of primary standard grade HgO (M.M. = 216.59) was dissolved in 100 mL of 0.50 M KI solution.
The liberated OH- needed 35.60 mL of HNO3 to reach the end point. Calculate the molarity of the HNO3 solution

3. A 0.2793 g sample of primary standard grade Na2CO3 was treated with 50.00 mL of dilute perchloric acid. The solution
was boiled to remove CO2 following which the excess HClO4 was back-titrated with 8.73 mL of 0.1458 dilute NaOH.
Calculate the molarity of HClO4.

4. A 1.047 g sample of canned tuna was analyzed by the Kjeldahl method; the liberated ammonia was collected in a boric
acid solution and required 24.61 mL of 0.1180 M HCl to reach the methyl orange end point. Calculate the %N in the
sample.

5. A 0.2750 g sample of soda ash required 24.10 mL of 0.1684 M HCl and a back-titration of 2.96 mL of 0.1005 M NaOH.
Calculate the %Na2CO3 in the sample.

6. A 25.00 mL aliquot of vinegar was diluted to 250 mL in a volumetric flask. Titration of a 50 mL aliquot of the diluted
vinegar solution required 34.88 mL of 0.09600 M NaOH. Express the acidity of the vinegar in terms of %(w/v) CH3COOH
(M.M. = 60.06).

7. A 25.00 mL sample of a household cleaning solution was diluted to 250.0 mL in a volumetric flask. A 50.00 mL aliquot
of this solution required 40.38 mL of 0.2506 M HCl to reach a bromocresol green end point. Calculate the %(w/v) NH3 in
the sample. (Assume that all the alkalinity results from the ammonia.)

SAMPLE PROBLESM
15. Titration of 0.1467 g of primary standard grade Na2C2O4 required 28.85 mL of a KMnO4 solution. Calculate the molar
concentration of KMnO4.

16. A 0.1809 g sample of pure iron wire was dissolved in acid, reduced to the 2+ state, and titrated with 31.33 mL of
cerium(IV). Calculate the molar concentration of the Ce4+ solution.

17. A 0.6700 g sample of pure Na2C2O4 (M.M. = 134.00) was dissolved in acid and a 25.00 mL portion of a KMnO4 was
added to this solution. The excess KMnO4 was back-titrated with 3.80 mL of 0.1650 M FeSO4 solution. Calculate
the molarity of the KMnO4 solution.

18. A 25.00 mL sample of a commercially available disinfectant requires 14.05 mL of 0.03000 M KMnO4 for titration.
Calculate the %H2O2 (w/v) present.
Half Reaction: H2O2. -¾® O2 + 2H+ + 2E-

19. The iodine produced when an excess of KI was added to a solution containing 0.1518 g of K2Cr2O7 required a 46.13
mL titration with Na2S3O3. Calculate the molar concentration of the thiosulfate solution.

20. Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C, M.M. = 176.13) is a reducing agent and reacts as follows:
C6H8O6 ¾® C6H6O6 + 2H+ + 2e
A 250.00 mL sample of a citrus fruit drink is acidified, and 10.00 mL of 0.0500 M I2 is added. After the reaction is
complete, the excess I2 is titrated with 31.24 mL of 0.0140 M Na2S2O3. Calculate the mg of ascorbic acid per 250 mL
of fruit drink.
