1.25 g of a sample of bleaching powder (OCl-) is dissolved in 100 mL of water. 25 mL of it is treated with
KI solution. The iodine so liberated required 12.5 mL of 0.4 M hypo solution (Na2S2O3) for complete
titration. Find percentage of available chlorine from the sample of bleaching powder

The ethyl mercaptan (EM) concentration in a mixture was determined by shaking a 2.043-g sample with
50.00 mL of 0.01204 M I2 in a tightly stoppered flask:

2𝐶2𝐻5𝑆𝐻 + 𝐼2 → 𝐶2𝐻5𝑆𝑆𝐶2𝐻5 + 2𝐼 − + 2𝐻+

The excess I2 was back-titrated with 18.23 mL of 0.01437 M Na2S2O3 . Calculate the percentage of
C2H5SH (62.13 g/mol).
