2. 25-00 ml liquid bleach was diluted to 1000 ml

in a volumetric Flask, An aliquot of 25 ml of

this diluted sample was transferred to an

Erlenmeyer flask and treated with excess Kl.

This gets oxidized to Kl, and the bleach OCL- to

Cl-. The liberated I2, in the form or KI3,

required 8·96 ml of 0.09892 M Na2S203, to

titrate using starch as indicator. Find out the

WN NaOCI in the bleach sample.

estimate the constituents Cu, Zn, Sn. Pb and

Fe of the Brass alloy.




Consider a mixture of the two solids

BaCl2.2H20 M 244.26) and KC1 (FM

74·55). When 1he mixture is healed at 160°C

for 1h the water of crystallization is driven

off. A sample originally weighing 1.783 g

weighed 1.5623 g after heating. Calculate the

weight of Ba, K and Cl in the original

sample.

3. The amount of Fe in a 0-4891 g sample of

an ore was determined by a redox titration

with K2Cr2O7• The sample was dissolved in

HCl and the iron brought in t0 oxidation

state using Jones reductor, Titration using

diphenylamine sulfonic acid as indicator, the

end point required 36·92 ml of 0·02153 M of

K2Cr2O7. Report the iron content of the ore as

Fe203.

transition pH -range with colour changes in

methyl orange and phenolphthalein indicators.



5.
A solution of carbon in face centered cubic

iron has a density of 8.105 g and a unit

cell edge of 3.589 A. Are the carbon atoms

interstitial or do they substitute for iron atoms

carbon.



A brown ore confuged as red hematite or

pyrolusite requires different tarif rates for

transport. As analyst, you performed a fusion

test of the ore using Na2C03-Na202. You

leached the mass once get cooled with

water. The leached colour would either be

brow n-violet or green in colour. On acidification

with cold dilute H2SO4, the colour

vanishes quickly or acquired a violet colour.

Based on the observations, can you identify

the brown ore. Explain the expected changes

in colour if the ore was for an iron or for a
manganese.
