Sol. The reaction is
KIO3 + 2KI + 6HCI → 3ICI + 3KCI + 3H2O
KIO3 required for 20 mL original KI solution = 3 millimol.
⇒ 7.5 millimol KIO3 would be required for original 50 mL KI.
⇒ Original 50 mL KI solution contain 15 millimol of KI.
After AgNO3 treatment.
5 millimol of KIO3 is required, ie, 10 millimol KI is remaining.
⇒ 5 millimol KI reacted with 5 millimol of AgNO3.
⇒ Mass of AgNO3 = 5/1000 × 170 = 0.85 g
⇒ Mass percentage of AgNO3 = 85%
