    This document provides a procedure to estimate the amount of chlorine in a bleaching powder sample. It involves standardizing a sodium thiosulfate solution by titrating it against a potassium dichromate solution. Then, an aliquot of the bleaching powder sample is titrated against the standardized sodium thiosulfate solution. The volume used is used to calculate the normality of chlorine in the sample. Tables are provided to record the titration data from standardizing the sodium thiosulfate and titrating the bleaching powder sample. The percentage of chlorine in the sample is then calculated.

    ESTIMATION OF BLEACHING POWDER

    AIM

    To determine the amount of chlorine present in a given sample of bleaching


    powder.

    PRINCIPLE

    The available chlorine in the given sample is estimated in terms of iodine


    liberated in the reaction. It is known as iodometric titration.

    PROCEDURE

    Standardization of Sodium Thiosulphate

    About 0.1N (0.49gm) of potassium dichromate is weighed accurately and


    transferred to 100ml standard flask and solution is made up to 100ml. The given
    sodium thiosulphate is taken in burette. 10 ml of potassium dichromate is pipette
    out into a conical flask and titrated against sodium thiosulphate after adding 10ml
    of potassium iodide and 2N sulphuric acid when the yellow colour fades slightly,
    2-3 drops of freshly prepared starch solution (indicator) is added and titration is
    continued till disappearance of blue colour. Titration is repeated for concordant
    values.

    Estimation of Bleaching Powder

    The given sample of bleaching powder is taken in a standard flask and made upto
    100ml. 10ml of bleaching powder solution is pipette out into a clean dry conical
    flask and 10ml of potassium iodide and sulphuric acid are added. It is then titrated
    against sodium thiosulphate in a burette when yellow colour starts fading, 2-3
    drops of freshly prepared starch indicator are added and titration is continued till
    the blue colour disappears. The titration is repeated for concordant values.

    RESULT
    The percentage of chlorine in a given sample of bleaching powder is ________.
    OBSERVATION:

    Table 1: Standardization of Sodium Thiosulphate

    S.N Volume of K2Cr2O7 Burette Reading (ml) Volume of Sodium


    o (ml) Initial Final Thiosulphate (ml)
    1.
    2.

    CALCULATION:

    Volume of K2Cr2O7 used (V1) = ml

    Volume of SodiumThiosulphate (V2) = ml

    Normality of K2Cr2O7 (N1) = 0.1 N

    V1*N1 = V2N2

    N2 = V1*N1 / V2

    CALCULATION:

    Volume of bleaching powder used (V3) = ml

    Volume of SodiumThiosulphate (V2) = ml

    Normality of SodiumThiosulphate = 0.1 N

    V3*N3 = V2N2

    N3 = V2*N2 / V3

    Amount of available chlorine in the given sample=

    N3*Equalent weight of bleaching powder*volume/1000.
