1. Quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis?

3
2. How can you titrate weak acid with weak base?
3
3. What are the characteristics of primary standard substances? Give suitable
example of each. 3
4. What is iodometry and iodimetry?
3
5. What is molarity, normality and molality?
3
6. Titration of a 20.0-mL sample of acid rain required 1.7 mL of 0.0811 M
NaOH to reach the end point. If we assume that the acidity of the rain is due to the
presence of sulfuric acid, what was the concentration of sulfuric acid in this sample
of rain? 4
7. Why potassium thiocyanate is added in redox iodometric titration of cupper
sulphate? 3
8. Write down the different steps of reactions that occur when Na2S2O3 is
standardized with a K2Cr2O7 solution by iodometric titration? 3
9. How do you prepare a 1 M/N HCl solution? Density of HCl: 1.48 g/ml
Molecular weight of HCl: 36.5g / mole Concentration of HCl stock: 36%.
5
10. How do you prepare 0.1 N KMnO4 solution?
5
11. What is the function of starch and why is the necessary to add starch just
before the end point of the titration?
3
12. Why Na2CO3 solution and Acetic acid is added during titration of Cu
solution? 3
13. The percentage of copper in a copper(II) salt can be determined by using a
thiosulphate titration. 0.305 gm of a copper(II) salt was dissolved in water and
added to an excess of potassium iodide solution liberating iodine according to the
following equation, 2Cu2+ (aq)+4I− (aq)⇌2CuI(s)+I2 (aq).
The iodine liberated required 24.5cm3 of a 0.100 mole dm−3 solution of sodium
thiosulphate, 2S2O32− (aq)+I2 (aq)→2I− (aq)+S4O62− (aq)
Calculate the percentage of copper, by mass in the copper(II) salt; [Atomic mass of
copper=63.5]. 5
14. Why two different indicators used in titration of HCl with Na2CO3?

Na2S2O3 is standardized with K2Cr2O7? 4
16. Why iodometric method is used for standardization of Na 2S2O3 is
standardized with K2Cr2O7? 3
