N NaOH for complete neutralization and 36 ml of 0.024 M KMnO4 for complete oxidation in acidic medium separately.
Assume all hydrogens except from water are replaceable and x, y, z and n are simplest integers.

78. Chile salt peter, a source of NaNO3, also contains NaIO3. The NaIO3 can be used as a source of iodine.
IO3- +HSO3- 
 I - +H + +SO 4 -2
I - +IO3- +H + 
 I 2 +H 2 O
One litre of chile salt peter solution containing 5.8g NaIO3 is treated with stoichiometric quantity of NaHSO3. Now
an additional amount of same solution is added to reaction mixture to bring about second reaction. How many
grams of NaHSO 3 are required in step-I and what additional volume of chile salt peter must be added in step-II to
bring complete conversion of I- to I2.

79. A sample may be one of the following: NaOH & Na 2CO3, NaHCO3 and NaCl, NaCl and
Na2CO3, NaOH and NaCl. If A represents the millilitre of a standard acid required to reach the end point with
phenolphthalein and B represents the millilitre of a same acid required to reach the end point with methyl orange
in a single titration, state the composition of the sample in each of the following case
(i) B=0 (ii) A=0 (iii) A=B (iv) A>B

80. 0.55 g of a sample containing KI is added to 50 ml of 0.1N KIO3 solution and acidified. The mixture is boiled to
expel off all the I2. The resulting solution is cooled down and excess of pure KI crystals are added. The solution
required 21 ml of 0.956 M thiosulphate solution to titrate the liberated iodine. Determine the mass percentage of
KI in the original sample.
