The number of moles of sodium thiosulphate that reacted.

n = c*v

The number of moles of iodine that reacted.

I2 + 2S2O32- → 2I- + S4O62-

The ratio between iodine and sodium thiosulphate is 1:2


# of moles of iodine = (moles of Sodium Thiosulphate )/ 2

The number of moles of hypochlorite ions in 10ml of bleach solution and in the original
25ml of domestic bleach.

ClO- + 2H+ + 2I- → I2 + Cl- + H2O


Ratio 1:1
10ml = (Moles of iodine) * 10
If 10ml = ****** mol
Then 1 ml = ******/ 10
So 25 ml = (*****) * 25
= 2.6325 * 10-2 mol

Assuming the bleach has a density of 1g/ml; the % of sodium hypochlorite in the domestic
bleach.
Assuming the density of water is 1g/cm3:

Density = mass/volume
1g/cm3 = m/25cm3
1g/cm3 (25cm3) = m
25g = m
By calculating the molar mass of sodium hypochlorite we get:
Molar mass (NaClO) = 23 + 35.5 + 16
= 74.5 g/mol
By calculating the mass of sodium hypochlorite we get:
Mass = number of moles * molar mass
By calculating the percentage of sodium hypochlorite in domestic bleach we get:
% NaClO = (Mass/25g) *100%
