CommonLead(IV) oxide, PbO2, is a strong oxidising agent. Under basic conditions, solid PbO2 reacts with solid Cr(OH)3 to form CrO42− and PbO22− ions.

(a)
Write the balanced half-equations, and hence construct an overall equation, for the reaction between PbO2 and Cr(OH)3 under basic conditions.
[2]

A 5.00 g sample containing PbO2 was reacted with excess Cr(OH)3 in alkaline solution, and the resulting solution of CrO42− was made up to 250 cm3. A 25.0 cm3 aliquot was acidified, converting the CrO42− to Cr2O72−, and titrated against 0.150 mol dm−3 Fe2+.

2CrO42− + 2H+ → Cr2O72− + H2O    6Fe2+ + Cr2O72− + 14H+ → 2Cr3+ + 6Fe3+ + 7H2O

(c)
The maximum uncertainty of any single burette reading is ±0.05 cm3. Calculate the maximum percentage uncertainty in the titre in (b).

ChallengeIf the dissolved oxygen concentration (DOC) in a river falls below 5 mg dm−3, most fish cannot survive. In the Winkler method, river water is shaken with excess alkaline Mn2+, which oxygen oxidises to a pale brown precipitate of Mn(OH)3.

(a)
The reduction half-equation is O2 + 2H2O + 4e− → 4OH−. Write the oxidation half-equation, and hence construct the overall ionic equation for the reaction between Mn2+ and oxygen under alkaline conditions.
[2]

The Mn(OH)3 is then reacted with excess KI, and the iodine formed is titrated with sodium thiosulfate.

2KI + 2Mn(OH)3 → I2 + 2Mn(OH)2 + 2KOH    2Na2S2O3 + I2 → Na2S4O6 + 2NaI

(b)
25.0 cm3 of river water treated in this way required 25.00 cm3 of 0.00100 mol dm−3 Na2S2O3.
(i) Fill in the blanks with whole numbers: ___O2 ≡ ___Mn(OH)3 ≡ ___I2 ≡ ___Na2S2O3  [1]
(ii) Calculate the amount of dissolved oxygen in 25.0 cm3 of river water.  [1]
(iii) Calculate the DOC in mg dm−3, and hence decide whether fish can survive in the river.
