Question

2.5 g sample of copper is dissolved in excess of H2SO4 to prepare 100 ml of 0.02MCuSO4(aq). 10 ml of 0.02M solution of CuSO4(aq) is mixed with excess of KI to show the following changes:

CuSO4+2KIK2SO4+CuI2

2CuI2Cu2I2+I2

The liberated iodine is titrated with hypo (Na2S2O3) which requires V ml of 0.1M hypo solution for its complete reduction.
Percentage of purity of sample is:

A

Solution

The correct option is B 5.08%
The molar mass of Cu is 63.5 g/mol.

2 mmol of CuSO4 corresponds to 21000×63.5=0.127 g of Cu.

The percentage purity of Cu is 0.127×1002.5=5%.

Hence, the correct option is (B)
