Title: Implementation
Aim: To determine if Chlorites bleach is more concentrated than Ajax Bleach
Procedure:
1) A solution of sodium thiosulphate was prepared with a concentration of 0.1 M in 250ml
by calculating the mass of sodium thiosulphate by using the formula the mass of one mol
of sodium thiosulphate multiplied by 25 an divided by 1000.
2) A 100ml of each brand of bleach was poured in beakers labelled A and B.
3) A volumetric titration apparatus was set up.
4) A pipette and pipette filler was used to measure 25ml of the bleach labelled ‘A’ and was
placed in a volume metric flask of 250ml.
5) Distilled water was added to the volume metric flask up to the calibration mark. A
stopper was placed on the flask and shaken vigorously to dilute the Bleach.
6) The solution was poured in a beaker and 25ml was pipetted. It was then transferred into
a conical flask.
7) 2ml of 0.1 mol sulphuric acid and Three grams of potassium iodide was added into the
conical flask, it was then swirled until an orange- red colour was seen.
8) Sodium thiosulphate was poured in the burette using a filter funnel up to the 1 ml mark.
9) The conical flask was placed under the burette. The bleach was titrated against the
sodium thiosulphate (shake between additions) until the first permanent colour was
observed.(pale yellow)
10) Three drops of starch indicator was added to the conical flask containing the bleach
solution, a blue black colour was seen.
11) The titration was continued until the blue-black colour disappeared and the solution
became colourless.
12) The volume was recorded at which the solution became colourless by reading the current
volume on the burette.
13) Steps four to ten were repeated at least twice for bleach A to achieve desired results.
14) Steps four to eleven were repeated for bleach B.
15) The results were recorded in the table shown below for both brands of bleach.

Calculations:
Clorox (Bleach A)
1) Average Volume of Clorox
= 9.0 + 9.0
= 18 cm3
2) Number of Moles of Thiosulphate
= Volume * Molar Concentration/1000
= 18 cm3 * 0.1/1000
= 0.0018 mol

3) Balanced Equation showing the reaction of Chlorate (I) with Iodide


ClO- + 2I- + 2H+ Cl-(aq) + H2O(l) + I2(aq)

4) Balanced Equation showing the reaction of thiosulphate with iodide


I2 + 2S2O2-3 2I- + S4O2-6

5) Calculate the number of moles of I2 present using a mole ratio

I2 : S2O2-3
1: 2
X= 0.0018 mol
2x = 0.0018mol
2 2
X = 0.0009 moles I2
6) Number of moles of chlorate (i)
= 2 mol ClO- = 1 mol I2
= 0.0009 + 0.0009
= 0.0018 moles

7) Concentration of diluted bleach in mol/dm3 using the formula


Concentration= Number of moles / Volume
= 0.0018/ (250÷1000)
= 7.2 X 10-3 mol/dm3

8) Concentration of undiluted bleach using the formula


Concentration= Number of moles/ Volume
= 0.0018/ (10÷1000)
= 0.0018/0.01
= 0.18 mol/dm3

Ajax (Bleach B)

1. Average Volume of Ajax


= 16.0 + 16.0 /2
= 32/2
= 16 cm3

2. Number of moles of Thiosulphate

= 16 cm3 * 0.1 /1000
= 1.6 X 10-3

3. Balanced Equation showing the reaction of chlorate (I) with iodide


ClO- + 2I- + 2H+ Cl-(aq) + H2O(l) + I2(aq)

4. Balanced Equation showing the reaction of thiosulphate with Iodide

2 2

X= 8 x 10-4
6. Number of moles of chlorite
2 mol ClO = 1mol I2
8 x 10-4 + 8 x 10-4
= 1.6 x 10-3 mol

7) Concentration of diluted bleach in mol/dm3 using the formula


Concentration= Number of moles / Volume
= 1.6 x 10-4/ (250÷1000)
= 6.4 X 10-4 mol/dm3

8) Concentration of undiluted bleach using the formula


Concentration= Number of moles/ Volume
= 1.6 x 10-4/ (10÷1000)
= 1.6 x 10-4/0.01
= 0.016 mol/dm3
Discussion: Titration is the slow addition of one solution of a known concentration (called a
titrant) to a known volume of another solution of unknown concentration until the reaction
reaches neutralization, which is often indicated by a colour change. In a titration experiment the
titrant is a solution of known concentration and volume.
In this experiment, the amount of sodium thiosulphate in commercial bleach will be
determined by reacting it with sodium thiosulphate while in the presence of iodide ions and
starch. A solution of sodium thiosulphate of a known concentration will be added to the bleach
using a burette in a titration. An average of 0.9ml of sodium thiosulphate was used in bleach A,
whereas an average of 16.0ml of sodium thiosulphate was used in bleach B.
Commercial bleaches are made by bubbling chlorine gas into a sodium hydroxide solution.
Some of the chlorine is oxidized to the hypochlorite ion present in a solution, ClO-, and some is
reduced to the chloride ion Cl-. Therefore, the solution remains strongly basic.. The amount of
hypochlorite ion present in a solution of bleach is determined by a redox titration. In this
experiment, the titration involves iodide and thiosulphate ions. Iodide ions can be oxidized by
almost any oxidizing agent. Three reactions occur that analyse the titration.
 2H+(aq)+ClO-(aq)+2I-(aq) Cl-(aq)+H2O(l)
 I2(aq)+I-(aq) I3-(aq)
 - 2-
I3 (aq)+2S2O3 (aq) 3I-(aq)+S4O62-(aq)

The last reaction has the triiodide ions (originally red-brown) fade to yellow and eventually clear
(iodide ion).Addition of starch turns the solution into deep blue colour which can be reversed.
The disappearance of the blue colour provides an effective method of determining the endpoint.

Conclusion: It can be concluded that Chlorine Bleach is more concentrated than Ajax, since the
volume of Sodium Thiosulphate that was used to neutralize Chlorine Bleach was less than the
volume used to neutralize Ajax Bleach.
