Problem

10 mL of 1.0 M aqueous solution of Br2\text{Br}_2 is added to excess of NaOH in order to disproportionate quantitatively to Br−\text{Br}^- and BrO3−\text{BrO}_3^- . The resulting solution is made free from Br−\text{Br}^- ion by extraction and excess of OH−\text{OH}^- neutralized by acidifying the solution. This solution requires 1.5 g of an impure CaC2O4\text{CaC}_2\text{O}_4 sample for complete redox change. Calculate % purity of CaC2O4\text{CaC}_2\text{O}_4 sample.
