Q4. Sulfur dioxide, SO2, is used as a preservative in wine.
The sulfur dioxide content of a wine can be found by titration. A chemist found that 25.0 cm3 of a
sample of wine reacted with exactly 15.00 cm3 of 0.0010 mol/dm3 aqueous iodine, I2(aq).
The equation for the reaction is
SO2(aq) + I2(aq) + 2H2O(l) → SO42−(aq) + 2I−(aq) + 4H+(aq)
(a) Calculate the amount, in moles, of iodine in 15.00 cm3 of a 0.0010 mol/dm3 solution.
(2)

(b) Deduce the amount, in moles, of sulfur dioxide in 25.0 cm3 of the wine.
(1)

(c) Calculate the concentration, in mol/dm3, of sulfur dioxide in the wine.

(2)

(d) Calculate the concentration, in g/dm3, of sulfur dioxide in the wine.

(2)

(e) A concentration of sulfur dioxide that is greater than 0.16 g/dm3 makes wine unpleasant to drink.
Use the value you have calculated in (d) to state whether the wine is drinkable.
