The percentage of copper ... -Eduinfy.com
MCQ Solution: Stoichiometry

The percentage of copper in a copper(II) salt can be determined by using a thiosulphate titration. 0.305 gm of a copper(II) salt was dissolved in water and added to, an excess of potassium iodide solution liberating iodine according to the following equation 2Cu2 (aq) + 4I (aq) ⇌2CuI(s) + I2(aq) The iodine liberated required 24.5cm3 of a 0.100 mole dm-3 solution of sodium thiosulphate 2S2O32- (aq) + I2(aq) → 2I (aq) + S4O62- (aq) the percentage of copper, by mass in the copper(ll) salt is. [Atomic mass of copper = 63.5]

1) 64.2
2) 51.0
3) 48.4
4) 25.5

 

 

Explanation:

 From given reactions

 

 

mmoles of hypo = mmoles of iodine × 2

 

 

= mmoles of Cu2+ ions

 

 

= 24.5 × 0.1 mmoles

 

 

So mass of copper = 24.5 × 0.1 × 10–3 × 63.5 gm

 

 

So % of copper = 

≃ 51.0%
