a) Balance the chemical equation.

b) Determine the mol ratio between ClO- + S2O32- .
c) Calculate the mol of ClO- (NaClO) based on the mol ratio from b)- mol of
NaClO in 10 ml aliquot.
d) To calculate mol of NaClO in 100 ml aliquot, use mol from 2c).
e) To calculate the mol of NaClO in 10 ml bleach sample:
1) Calculate the molarity of NaClO (M2) in 100 ml aliquot, use mol
obtained from 2d).
2) Calculate the molarity of NaClO (M1) by using molarity in 2e (1).
M1V1 = M2V2 (V1 = 10 ml, V2=100ml)
 3) Calculate the mol of NaClO using molarity from 2e (2).
4) Average mol for each titration.

f) To calculate gram/L of NaClO in bleach:

1) From average mol NaClO [2e (4)], find molarity of NaClO in bleach
(Volume =1 L).

Molarity = mol/L

2) Convert mol/L to g/L (use molar mass of NaClO)

g) Calculate mass percent (% w/v)

h) Calculate deviation between experimental and label values (Refer notes
