need help with 2 and 3 of post lab
questions here

here is the reaction we did in lab

for the procedure part I don't need a full procedure just specific things that would change from the original procedur and explain why it's different.

Question for Study

1. A student performed this lab exercise, generating the following data:

Mass of H5IO6 used: 1.2320 g

Volume of thiosulfate used in blank titration: 47.93 mL

Volume of thiosulfate used in the unknown titration: 39.23 mL

a. What is the concentration of the sodium thiosulfate solution?

b. How many mmol of I3 — were present in the blank titration?

c. How many mmol of I3 — were present in the unknown titration?

d. How many mmol of glycol were present in the unknown titration?

e. What mass of ethylene glycol should be reported?

Introduction

The chemical analysis of organic compounds often presents major experimental difficulties. An accurate analysis depends upon the sample undergoing a single, well-defined reaction which quickly goes to completion. Often, organic compounds undergo several different reactions at the same time, and reaction rates are sometimes quite slow.

A functional-group analysis is one in which a particular grouping of atoms in a compound is made to react in a specific well-defined way with a particular reagent.1 In this experiment use is made of the reaction between an oxidizing reagent and an organic compound with the functional group COH-COH.

Analysis of Ethylene Glycol

Ethylene glycol reacts with periodate ion to form formaldehyde and iodate:

+ 𝐼𝑂4 − → 2 𝐻2𝐶𝑂 +𝐼𝑂3 − + 𝐻2𝑂 (8-1)

This oxidation-reduction reaction will proceed to completion with negligible side reactions under the appropriate set of conditions. The reaction is slow, but increases with increasing concentration of periodate. Here a known, fixed amount of periodate in excess of that needed to completely react with the glycol is added to the unknown. After the glycol has reacted, an excess of iodide is added to the solution. The iodide reacts with unreacted periodate according to:

𝐼𝑂4 − + 11 𝐼 − + 8 𝐻 + → 4 𝐼3 − +4 𝐻2𝑂 (8-2)

The iodide also reacts with the iodate produced in reaction 8-1 according to:

𝐼𝑂3 − + 8 𝐼 − + 6 𝐻 + → 3 𝐼3 − + 3 𝐻2𝑂 (8-3)

The triiodide produced in these reactions is then determined by titration with thiosulfate:

𝐼3 − +2 𝑆2𝑂3 2− → 3 𝐼 − + 𝑆4𝑂6 2− (8-4)

To find the glycol content, a blank solution containing the same fixed amount of periodate but no glycol is treated similarly. The difference in the number of moles of 𝐼3 − produced in the blank solution, and that produced in the sample solution, is equal to the number of moles of glycol in the sample solution.

Procedure

1. Prepare a solution from your unknown: a. Your unknown may have recently been refrigerated – make sure it is at room temperature before use. b. Transfer the vial contents quantitatively to a 250 mL volumetric flask. c. Dilute to volume with water and mix well.

2. Prepare a Periodic Acid standard solution (pronounced “purr-eye-oh-dic acid”): a. Weigh out 1.16-1.24 g of H5IO6 on an analytical balance. Periodic acid is very corrosive – to your skin and to metals. Do not spill any on the analytical balances. b. Quantitatively transfer the solid to a 100 mL volumetric flask, and dilute to volume with water.

3. Prepare a sodium thiosulfate solution: a. Weigh ~11.2 g of sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate. b. Transfer the solid to a 1L Pyrex bottle and dilute to 500 mL to produce an approximately 0.09 M solution. c. Add 0.10 g Na2CO3 and swirl to mix well.

4. Prepare a ~0.5 M solution of sulfuric acid: a. In a beaker (250 or 400 mL), combine 25 mL of 3 M sulfuric acid and 125 mL of water. Mix. Remember: “Acid Into Water”. What glassware is appropriate to measure these volumes?

5. Prepare samples for titration: a. Pipet 20 mL of your diluted unknown and 10 mL of the periodic acid solution into a 250 mL conical flask and swirl to mix. b. Wait a minimum of 45 minutes to allow complete reaction before titrating. Do the blank titrations while you wait! c. Prepare a total of 3 samples in this way.

6. Perform the sample titrations: a. Add ~1.5 g of KI to your conical flask and swirl to dissolve. b. Add 10 mL of your 0.5 M sulfuric acid (use a graduated cylinder). c. Titrate from a dark red initial colour to the first change to yellow. d. Add 2.0 mL of thiodene indicator solution. The solution will become a dark grey/violet colour. e. Finish the titration (fractional drops) to a sharp disappearance of the violet colour. 7. Perform the blank titrations: a. Pipet 10 mL of periodic acid solution into a 250 mL conical flask. b. Add 20 mL of water with a graduated cylinder. c. Add reagents and perform the titration as in Step 6 above. Calculations Report the total mass (in mg) of ethylene glycol in your unknown.
