    I have almost covered the entire unit with the help of these videos, however I think you missed the iodine-thiosulfate rxn (titration), it involves iodometry and iodimetry. I was really confused about those. Anyways, thanks a lot:)

    The unit is mg/dm3 so the mass (in mg) is divided by the volume (dm3). 1 mg/dm3 is equal to 1 ppm.

    Great video! But I have one question: Why do you calculate the number of moles of thiosulfate if it says *sodium* thiosulfate reacts with the sample in the instructions?

  • @MSJChem

    @MSJChem

    3 жыл бұрын

    Sodium thiosulfate will dissociate into sodium ions and thiosulfate ions. It is the thiosulfate ions that react with so we calculate the amount in mol of these ions (although it is the same amount as the sodium thiosulfate used in the reaction).

    The ratio is 1:2 in the first step, 1:1 in the second step and 1:2 in the third step so that is 1:4 ratio of O2 to S2O42-.

    @@lu8509 U basically make the stoichiometric coefficient I2, 2, and by that the s2O3 2- will have 4 as the coefficient. I THINK. So, basically what I am saying is, the 2 of MnO2 in the first eq will be multiplied in the second eq, to get 2MnO2, such that the same amount of MnO2 is maintained. Therefore, the MnO2 : I2 will become 2:2. Then, the ratio of I2 : S2O3 2- will become 2:4. That is how the ratio of O2 : S2O3 2- is 1:4. Hope I am making sense.

    The ratio between the O2 and 2MnO2 is 1:2, but the amount of 2MnO2 (from first step) must equal the amount of MnO2 (in the second step). The amount of the MnO2 in the second step is equal to the amount of I2 in the second and third steps. The amount of 2S2O3 2- is twice as much as I2 and the MnO2 (which is twice as much as O2) -- so the ratio between 2S2O3 2- and O2 is 1:4

    @@lu8509 you can think of the first ratio as doubling. So one reactant becomes 2 products. Now those 2 products become 2 reactants in the next equation. Since the second equation is 1:1, you don't get a different number of products. Finally, your two products become the 2 reactants in the final equation, and the final equation will double the reactants to 4 products. effectively you get 4 products for 1 reactant

    @@MSJChem Thanks! I have a question about a past paper question I was doing. The question asks: Outline with an ionic equation what is observed when magnesium powder is added to a solution of ammonium chloride. In one of your previous videos, you mentioned that metals above H on the activity series will displace H+ ions to form H2. So wouldn't the equation be Mg + 2 NH4Cl --> MgCl2 + 2 H2 + 2 NH2? But the answer says the equation is Mg + 2 NH4Cl → MgCl2 + H2 + 2 NH3. Why did the NH4 split into H2 and NH3?
