Question

KI is added to the aqueous solution of CuSO₄. What will happen?give chemical equations.

Open in App

Solution

It's a .redox reaction and not precipitation reaction or double decomposition reaction because it involves oxidising agent like cu2+ and 2I- .Cu2+ becomes reduced to CU+(blue to a white ppt whilst 2I- oxidises to I2 ie from colourless to yellow or brown.
