Questions and Answers
What is the reason for using iron tablets?
What is the reason for using iron tablets?
- To enhance the absorption of nutrients
- To ensure a measurable amount of iron (correct)
- To provide a fast-release source of iron
- To prevent iron deficiency anemia
What happens if starch is added at the beginning of the iodine titration?
What happens if starch is added at the beginning of the iodine titration?
- It would react with sodium thiosulphate immediately
- It would displace the iodine out of the titration (correct)
- It will enhance color change visibility
- It would not affect the titration process
What is the correct sequence of color changes in an iodine versus sodium thiosulphate titration?
What is the correct sequence of color changes in an iodine versus sodium thiosulphate titration?

- Blue Black to Colourless to Straw Yellow to Red/Brown
- Red/Brown to Straw Yellow to Blue Black to Colourless (correct)
- Straw Yellow to Blue Black to Colourless to Red/Brown

Study Notes
Iron Tablets and Iodine
- Five iron tablets are utilized to guarantee a measurable iron concentration during experiments or treatments.
- Pure iodine is avoided because it sublimes (transitions from solid to gas) at room temperature, making it difficult to measure accurately.
Iodine vs. Sodium Thiosulphate Titration
- The color change during iodine titration proceeds from red/brown to straw yellow, then to blue-black, and finally to colorless.
- Starch is added to the iodine titration once the solution changes to straw yellow to enhance visibility of the endpoint.
Starch Addition in Iodine Titration
- Starch cannot be added at the beginning of the iodine titration as it would displace iodine, affecting the accuracy of the measurement.
Bleach Dilution Before Titration
- Bleach is diluted prior to titration to achieve more reliable and precise results.
- The dilution factor is calculated by dividing the diluted volume by the initial volume to determine the concentration change.
