In the first part of this experiment, sodium percarbonate will be dissolved in water:Na2CO3·n H2O2(s) → 2 Na+(aq) + CO32–(aq) + n H2O2(aq)The hydrogen peroxide thus generated will be consumed by iodide and sulfuric acid:H2O2(aq) + 2 H+(aq) + 3 I– → 2 H2O(l) + I3–(aq)Finally, the triiodide anion will be consumed by added thiosulfate:2 S2O32–(aq) + I3–(aq) → S4O62–(aq) + 3 I–(aq)Considering these chemical equations, if 0.437 millimoles of thiosulfate were needed to completely consume all of the triiodide generated in reaction 2, how many millimoles of hydrogen peroxide were present in the original sodium percarbonate sample?

Given: Moles of S2O32- required = 0.437 millimoles.

Question

In the first part of this experiment, sodium percarbonate will be dissolved in water:

Na₂CO₃·n H₂O₂(s) → 2 Na⁺(aq) + CO₃^2–(aq) + n H₂O₂(aq)

The hydrogen peroxide thus generated will be consumed by iodide and sulfuric acid:

H₂O₂(aq) + 2 H⁺(aq) + 3 I^– → 2 H₂O(l) + I₃^–(aq)

Finally, the triiodide anion will be consumed by added thiosulfate:

2 S₂O₃^2–(aq) + I₃^–(aq) → S₄O₆^2–(aq) + 3 I^–(aq)

Considering these chemical equations, if 0.437 millimoles of thiosulfate were needed to completely consume all of the triiodide generated in reaction 2, how many millimoles of hydrogen peroxide were present in the original sodium percarbonate sample?
