Question
Chapter 23, Problem 29QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the statement, “The formation of potassium is not done by the electrolytic reduction from its salt”, is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Electropositive elements undergo electrolytic reduction.
The reduction takes place on the halide of the metal or anhydrous molten oxide. Some electropositive elements are not suitable for electrolytic reduction because of their solubility.

- The amount of sodium hypochlorite in a bleach solution can be determined by using a given volume of bleach to oxidize excess iodide ion to iodine; ClO- is reduced to Cl-. The amount of iodine produced by the redox reaction is determined by titration with sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3; I2 is reduced to I-. The sodium thiosulfate is oxidized to sodium tetrathionate, Na2S4O6. In this analysis, potassium iodide was added in excess to 5.00 mL of bleach (d=1.00g/cm3) . If 25.00 mL of 0.0700 M Na2S2O3 was required to reduce all the iodine produced by the bleach back to iodide, what is the mass percent of NaClO in the bleach?arrow_forwardUsing data in Appendix 1, estimate the temperature at which Fe2O3 can be reduced to iron, using hydrogen gas as a reducing agent (assume H2O(g) is the other product).arrow_forwardUse data from Appendix J to calculate the enthalpy change and the Gibbs free energy change for the reduction of chromium(III) oxide by aluminum.arrow_forward
