Answer all the following questions:

1. Define the terms: solution, base, auto-indicator and ligand. 4

2. Explain in details whether phenolphthalein is a suitable indicator or not for the titration of aq. 3
Na2CO3 and aq. HCl.

3. Solve the following: 5

1.34 g sodium oxalate (Na2C2O4) was dissolved in water to prepare 200 mL solution. 20 mL of
KMnO4 solution was needed to titrate 10 mL of that Na 2C2O4 solution. Calculate the concentration
of KMnO4 solution in molarity.

4. Define Iodometric and Iodimetric titration with example. Write the half-reactions involved in 4
the reaction between Na2S2O3 and I2 by indicating the oxidizing and reducing agent?
