Question

(a) CuSO4 reacts with KI in acidic medium to liberate I2.
2CuSO4+4KICu2I2+2K2SO4+I2
(b) Mercuric perisdate, Hg5(IO6)2 reacts with a mixture of KI and HCl according to the following the equation:
Hg5(IO6)2+34KI+24HCl5K2HgI4+8I2+24KCl+12H2O
(c) The liberated iodine is titrated against Na2S2O3 solution, one mL of which is equivalent to 0.0499 g of CuSO4.5H2O.
What volume in mL of Na2S2O3 solution will be required to react with I2 liberated from 0.7245 g of Hg5(IO6)2? (Molar mass of CuSO4.5H2O=249.5 g/mol and of Hg5(IO6)2=1448.5 g/mol)

Solution

The correct option is B 40 mL
Given that 1 mol of Hg5(IO6)2 or 1448.5 g =8 mol I2

Moles of Hg5(IO6)2=0.72451448.5

Moles of I2 liberated =8×0.72451448.5=4.0×103

The liberated I2 is titrated against Na2S2O3.
2e+I22I
2(S2+)2(S5/2)4+2e

Meq. of Na2S2O3= Meq. of I2=2×103× mole of I2
=4×103×103×2=8
Also, meq. of Na2S2O3 in one mL = Meq. of CuSO4 =0.04992491×1000=0.20
Meq. of Na2S2O3 used = Meq. of I2
0.20×V=8 V=40 mL
