Formula: moles from mass and RMM

n=mRMMn = \frac{m}{RMM}

Formula: moles from vol. & molarity (vol. in cm³)

n=V×M1000n = \frac{V \times M}{1000}

Formula: dilution calculations

V1×M1n1=V2×M2n2\frac{V_1 \times M_1}{n_1} = \frac{V_2 \times M_2}{n_2}

Formula: density

Density = MassVolume\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}

Indicator for iodine-thiosulfate titrations

Starch solution

When to add starch in iodine-thiosulfate titration

When solution becomes pale yellow

Starch colour change at end point

Blue-black to colourless

Why starch works as indicator for iodine

Forms complex with iodine → blue-black colour

Why prefer distilled over tap water in titrations?

Tap water contains chlorine ions that interfere

What do n values represent in dilution formula?

Number of moles that react per balanced equation

Key note about volume in moles formula

Divide by 1000 when volume is in cm³

First step in solving volumetric problems

Understand what you're asked to find

Second step in solving volumetric problems

Write the balanced equation
