Question

100 mL of 0.05 M CuSO4(aq) solution was electrolyzed using inert electrodes by passing current till the pH of the resulting solution was 2. The solution after electrolysis was neutralized and then treated with excess KI and formed I2 titrated with 0.04 M Na2S2O3. Calculate the required volume (in mL) of Na2S2O3.

A
112.5 mL

Solution

The correct option is A 112.5 mL
When the copper sulphate solution is electrolyzed, till the pH of solution changes to 2, the number of milliequivalents of copper sulphate changes from 5 to 4.5.
The, balanced chemical equations are;
Cu2++2ICu+I2
2S2O23+I22I+S4O26
Hence, Cu2+I22S2O23
The volume of Na2S2O3 required is 112.5×0.040.05=90mL.
