Ian uses litmus paper to determine whether five unknown solutions are acids or bases. The litmus paper turns red when the pH is
4.5 or below and blue when the pH is 8.2 or above. Ian records the results in the data table.
Ian accidentally spills a beaker of an unknown solution. It splashes onto the strip he used to test Solution 1, and the strip turns from red to blue. Based on this observation, which conclusion could Ian make about the solution that he spilled?

Answer:
1,812 wt%
Explanation:
The reactions for this titration are:
2Ce⁴⁺ + 3I⁻ → 2Ce³⁺ + I₃⁻
I₃⁻ + 2S₂O₃⁻ → 3I⁻ + S₄O₆²⁻
The moles in the end point of S₂O₃⁻ are:
0,01302L×0,03428M Na₂S₂O₃ = 4,463x10⁻⁴ moles of S₂O₃⁻. As 2 moles of S₂O₃⁻ react with 1 mole of I₃⁻, the moles of I₃⁻ are:
4,463x10⁻⁴ moles of S₂O₃⁻× = 2,2315x10⁻⁴ moles of I₃⁻
As 2 moles of Ce⁴⁺ produce 1 mole of I₃⁻, the moles of Ce⁴⁺ are:
2,2315x10⁻⁴ moles of I₃⁻× = 4,463x10⁻⁴ moles of Ce(IV). These moles are:
4,463x10⁻⁴ moles of Ce(IV)× = <em>0,0625 g of Ce(IV)</em>
As the sample has a 3,452g, the weight percent is:
0,0625g of Ce(IV) / 3,452g × 100 = <em>1,812 wt%</em>
