What is the molarity of a potassium triiodide solution, KI3(aq), if 30.00 mL of the solution is required to completely react with 25.00 mL of a 0.500 M thiosulfate solution, K2S2O3(aq)

The molarity is 0.203 M

Explanation:

Using the formula C(oxi) x V(oxi) / [C(red)  x  V(red)] = N(oxi) / N(red)

Where oxi and red means reducing agent and oxidising agent respectively.

C = Concentration, V = Volume and N = number of moles.

C(oxi) = 0.5 M

V(oxi) = mL

C(red) = ?

V(red) = 30mL

 Equation of reaction = 2K2S2O3 + KI3 = K2S4O6 + 3KI

so N(red) = 1 , N(oxi) = 2

from the equation above,

C(red) = 0.5 x 25 x 1 / (2 x 30)

          = 0.203 M.

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
