How much amount of $\mathrm{CuSO}_4 \cdot 5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ is required for liberation of $2.54 \mathrm{~g}$ of $\mathrm{I}_2$ when titrated with $\mathrm{KI}$ ?
  1. $2.5 \mathrm{~g}$
  2. $4.99 \mathrm{~g}$
  3. $2.4 \mathrm{~g}$
  4. $1.2 \mathrm{~g}$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & 2 \mathrm{CuSO}_4 \cdot 5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+4 \mathrm{KI} \longrightarrow \\ & \mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{I}_2+2 \mathrm{~K}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4+\mathrm{I}_2+10 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \\ & 254 \mathrm{~g} \\ & \end{aligned}$ Molecular weight of $2 \mathrm{CuSO}_4 \cdot 5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ $[2(63.5+32+64)+10(18)] \mathrm{g}=499 \mathrm{~g}$ $254 \mathrm{~g}$ of $\mathrm{I}_2$ is liberated by $499 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{CuSO} \cdot 5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ $2.54 \mathrm{~g}$ of $\mathrm{I}_2$ will be liberated by $x$ g CuSO$_4 \cdot 5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ $x=\frac{499}{254} \times 2.54=4.99 \mathrm{~g}$
