CuSO4 reacts wit KI in acidic medium to liberate I2.
2CuSO4 + 4 KI = Cu2I2 + 2K2SO4.
Mercuric periodate Hg5(IO6)2 eacts with a mixture of KI and HCl following the eqn
Hg5(IO6)2 + 34 KI + 24 HCL = 5K2HgI4 + 8I2 + 24KCL + 12H2O.
The liberated iodine is titrated against Na2S2O3 solutn.1ml of which is equivalent to .0499 gms of CuSO4.5H2O. What volume in ml of Na2S2O3 soln will be reqd to react withI2 liberated from 0.7425 gms of Hg5(IO6)2?
mol wt of mercuric periodate = 1448.5 and mol wt of hydrated coppersulphate = 249.5 gms
