25ml of household bleach solution was mixed with 30ml of 0.5M KI and 10ml of 4N acetic acid. In the titration of the liberated iodine, 48ml of 0.25N hypo was used to reach the end point. The molarity of the household bleach solution is??

ans: 0.24MI want to know how to solve it..

house hold bleach solution is sodium hypochloride (NaOCl)
 
Bleach solution will react with KI to liberate iodine
 
NaOCl + 2KI + H+ (excess) = I2 + NaCl + 2K+  + H2O
 
Iodine will combine with iodide to produce I3-
 
I2 + I-  →  I3-
 
This is not titrated with hypo solution.
 
I3- + 2 Na2S2O3 → Na2S4O6 + 3 I- 
 
Now NaOCl ≡ I2 ≡ I3- ≡ 2 Na2S2O3 
 
So, 2 mol Na2S2O3  equvalent to 1 mol NaOCl
 
(1M Na2S2O3 = 2N Na2S2O3 )
 
Now calculate the amount of bleach solution.
