    Confused about titration calculation for my upcoming practical
    Today we titrated MIO3 (unknown iodate) with sodium thiosulphate. The question is to find the concentration in moldm^3 of MIO3.

    They give you the concentration of sodium thiosulphate, which is 0.130moldm^3, and the volume I used was 21.80cm^3.

    For the MIO3 they give you the concentration in gdm^3, and the volume= 25cm^3. Now, I tried finding the moles of MIO3 and then calculating the concentration with moles/v=c, but I got 0.000106moldm^3, which is really low... Can somebody help me out? Do I have to do something with the gdm^3? :confused:

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of coursework and essays in the UK.

    They've got over 168,000+ essays, projects, assignments, coursework etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level and Uni students. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site’s used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    Hopefully you'll find it useful

    Well you haven't give us a vast amount to go on, but think about the number of moles of sodium thiosulphate you added to the solution. The value you got sounds about right, if anything it should be around 0.00106 M I believe, but without the values i can't really say for sure.
