Question

A solution containing Cu2+ and C2O2−4 ions is titrated with 20 mL of M4 KMnO4 solution in acidic medium. The resulting solution is treated with excess of KI after neutralization. The evolved I2 is then absorbed is 25 mL of M10 hypo solution. Which of the following statements is/are correct?

A
The difference in the number of mmol of Cu2+ and C2O24 ions in the solution is 10 mmol

Solution

The correct options are
A The difference in the number of mmol of Cu2+ and C2O24 ions in the solution is 10 mmol
C The equivalent weight of Cu2+ ions in the titration with KI is equal to the atomic weight of Cu2+
A. Cu2+ does not react with MnO4 ion.
Only C2O24 reacts with MnO4 ion.
MnO4(n=5)=C2O24(n=2)

20×M4×5mEq
mEq of C2O24=25
mmoles of C2O24=252=12.5
B. Cu2+=KI=I2=S2O23(hypo)

n=22=1
2S2O23S4O26+2e
mEq of S2O2325×M10×1
=2.5=mEq of Cu2+
mEq of Cu2+=2.5
mmoles of Cu2+=2.51=2.5
Difference in mmoles of C2O24 and Cu2+=12.52.5=10
Equivalent weight of Cu2+=Atomic weight of Cu2+1(nfactor=1)
Equivalent weight of KI=Mnfactor=M1=M2II2+2en=22=1
Hence option A & C are correct.
