Question

Arsenic(III) oxide (As2O3) is available in pure form and is a useful (but carcinogenic) primary standard for oxidizing agents such as MnO4-. The As2O3 is dissolved in base and then titrated with MnO4- in acidic solution. A small amount of iodide (I - ) or iodate (IO3-) is used to catalyze the reaction between H3AsO3 and MnO4-.

As2O3 + 4 OH -  2 HAsO32- + H2O
HAsO32- + 2 H+  H3AsO3
5 H3AsO3 + 2 MnO4- + 6 H+  5 H3AsO4 + 2 Mn2+ + 3 H2O
(a) A 3.209 g aliquot of KMnO4 (FM 158.034) was dissolved in 1.000 L of water, heated to cause any reactions with impurities to occur, cooled and filtered. What is the theoretical molarity of this solution if no MnO4- was consumed by impurities?
  M

(b) What mass of As2O3 (FM 197.84) would be just sufficient to react with 25.00 mL of the KMnO4 solution in part (a)?
  g

(c) It was found that 0.146 8 g of As2O3 required 29.98 mL of KMnO4 solution for the faint color of unreacted MnO4- to appear. In a blank titration, 0.03 mL of MnO4- was required to produce enough color to be seen. What is the molarity of the permanganate solution?
  M
