Question Details:
Saturated solutions are often prepared by bubbling a gas through water. At 298 K and 1 atm, SO2 is bubbled through H2O to form a saturated solution. A 10mL sample of the solution is reacted with potassium iodate according to the reaction: 5SO2 + 2KlO3 + 4H2O --> 2KHSO4 + 3H2SO4 + Iand the I2 formed is then reacted completely with 65.6 mL of a 0.10 molar solution of Na2SO3 as shown:

 I2 + 2Na2SO3 --> 2NaI + Na2S2O6

Calculate moles of iodine produced.

Response Details:
 From the given information
  The number of moles of Iodine produced in the reaction is calculated by using the titration of the Iodine with Hypo.
 In the given reaction ,
          The number of moles of Hypo produced  =  Molarity * Volume(in L)
                                                                         = 0.10 M * 0.0656 L
                                                                         = 0.00656 moles
 According to the titration reaction
                 I2 + 2Na2SO3 --> 2NaI + Na2S2O6
 1 mole of I2 reacted with the 2 moles of the hypo.Thus in the present case we have 0.00656 moles of the hypo.Thus the total number of moles of the Iodine produced.
                                =  0.00656 mole Hypo * (1mole of I2 / 2 moles of Hypo)
                                =  0.00328 moles of I2 is produced.
