<u>Given:</u>
Initial concentration of potassium iodate (KIO3) M1 = 0.31 M
Initial volume of KIO3 (stock solution) V1 = 10 ml
Final volume of KIO3 V2 = 100 ml
<u>To determine:</u>
The final concentration of KIO3 i.e. M2
<u>Explanation:</u>
Use the relation-
M1V1 = M2V2
M2 = M1V1/V2 = 0.31 M * 10 ml/100 ml = 0.031 M
Ans: The concentration of KIO3 after dilution is 0.031 M
Potassium is not found free in nature but is found in the form of potash. Potash is the ore of potassium and this ore is mined from deep down the earth or can sometimes be found on the surface. Potash was mostly formed as sea water receded and left deposits.
Potash is usually in the form of potassium salts such potassium chloride and potassium sulphate. The potash is mined then taken to the factory where it is crushed and purified by removing such impurities as clay.
The now purified potassium salts are subjected to a process called electrolysis where potassium metal is obtained from its salt.
