Copper sulphate on treatment with potassium iodide precipitates cuprous iodide, liberates iodine gas and also forms potassium sulphate. Write a balanced equation for the mentioned reaction.

Open in App

Solution

The reaction is given by: $C u S O_{4} + K I \to C u I + I_{2} + K_{2} S O_{4}$
After balancing it becomes: $2 C u S O_{4} + 4 K I \to 2 C u I + I_{2} + 2 K_{2} S O_{4}$
