Summer don't confuse the guy i'll tell you the right answer

sulphuric acid is a stong enough oxidising agent so a concentrated sulphuric acid couldn't be used because it will further get reduced it self and will oxidise the halide ion to form iodine or bromine resulting in now HI or HBr for the reaction with alcohol to form haloalakane.

You guys are wrong.

You see, the Bromine and Iodine ions are very powerful reducing agennts compared to that of Chlorine, and would result in further reactions, that would not form other products. http://www.chemguide.co.uk/inorganic/group7/halideions.html#top. This site will help u understand the whole thing.

lol mysterious i said the same thing but in the opposite way i said sulpuric acid is  a strong oxidising agen (poor reducing agent) and bromine ions and iodide ions they get oxidised which means that they are poor oxidising agents and strong reducing agents


it doesn't matter in what way you put because they both stands for the same answer but the problem is you shouldn't mix up when writing which one is the oxidising and which one is the reducing agent

I need help with this question:

" 25 cm3 of potassium iodate (V) solution was added to excess potassium iodide solution. The iodine liberated required 30 cm3 of 0.5 mol dm-3 sodium thiosulphate. Calculate the concentration of the potassium iodate (V) solution."

Needed ASAP.

Thanks in advance.

The topic says it's Edexcel, and so it is. It' not a past paper. And there's no equation. Just the way it is. Just a normal thiosulfate titration.

just find the moles of potassium iodate (V) and divide it by its volume. Final answer is 0.1 mol dm-3
