Question

H2S can be analyzed by titration with coulometrically generated I2. 
The I2 is generated electrolytically from the I- in KI via:
2I-(aq) ------> I2(aq) + 2e-
The generated I2 then reacts in a 1:1 titration via:
H2S(aq) + I2(aq) --------> S(s) + 2H+(aq) + 2I-(aq)

Analysis of 50.00mL of a solution containing H2S was analyzed with dissolved KI. Electrolysis required 812 seconds at 52.6mA current. What is the [H2S] in the original solution?
