Question

A solution of 0.2 g of a compound containing Cu2+ and C2O42 ions on titration with 0.02 M KMnO4 in presence of H2SO4 consumes 22.6 mL oxidant. The resulting solution is neutralised by Na2CO3, acidified with dilute acetic acid and titrated with excess of KI. The liberated iodine required 1.3 mL of 0.05 M Na2S2O3 for complete reduction. Find out the whole ratio of Cu2+ and C2O42 in the compound.

Solution

1st case : Only C2O24 ions are oxidised by KMnO4 solution.
Normality of KMnO4 solution =0.02×5=0.1 N
22.6 mL of 0.1 N KMnO4=22.6 mL of 0.1 N C2O24 soln.
Mass of C2O24ions in the solution =N×E×V1000=N×M×V1000×2
No, of moles of C2O24 ions in the solution =N×M×V1000×2×M
=N×V2000
=0.1×22.62000
=11.3×104
2nd case : Only Cu2+ ions are reduced by KI and iodine liberated in neutralised by Na2S2O3 solution.
11.3 mL of 0.05 M Na2S2O311.3 mL of 0.05 N Na2S2O3
=11.3 mL of 0.05 N I2
=11.3 mL of 0.05 N Cu2+
Mass of Cu2+ ions in the solution =N×E×V1000=N×M×V1000
No, of moles of Cu2 ions in the solution =N×M×V1000×M
=N×V1000
=0.05×11.31000
=5.65×104
Molar ratio of Cu2+C2O24=5.65×10411.3×104=12.
