When an equimolar mixture of Cu2S and CuS is titrated with Ba(MnO4)2 in acidic medium, the final product contains Cu2+, SO2 and Mn2+. If the molecular weight of Cu2S, CuS and Ba(MnO4)2 are M1, M2 and M3 respectively then:

Solution
The correct options are A eq. wt. of Cu2S is M18 B eq. wt. of CuS is M26 +1Cu2−2S→Cu+2++4SO2 So, n-factor of Cu2S = 8 Hence, eq. wt. of Cu2S is M18
+2Cu−2S→Cu+2++4SO2 So, n-factor = 6 Hence, eq. wt. of CuS is M26
Ba(+7MnO4)2→Mn+2 So, n-factor = 10 eq. wt. of Ba(MnO4)2 is M310
Clearly, as number of moles of CuSandCu2S is same but n-factor is different. So, equivalents will be different.
