When Cu2+{Cu}^{2 +} ion is treated with KIKI, a white precipitate, XX appears in solution. The solution is titrated with sodium thiosulphate, the compound YY is formed. XX and YY respectively are

Options

  1. AX=Cu2I2,Y=Na2S4O5X = {Cu}_{2}{I}_{2}, Y = {Na}_{2}{S}_{4}{O}_{5}
  2. BX=Cu2I2,Y=Na2S4O6X = {Cu}_{2}{I}_{2}, Y = {Na}_{2}{S}_{4}{O}_{6}
  3. CX=CuI2,Y=Na2S4O3X = {CuI}_{2}, Y = {Na}_{2}{S}_{4}{O}_{3}
  4. DX=CuI2,Y=Na2S4O6X = {CuI}_{2}, Y = {Na}_{2}{S}_{4}{O}_{6}

Correct answer

B. X=Cu2I2,Y=Na2S4O6X = {Cu}_{2}{I}_{2}, Y = {Na}_{2}{S}_{4}{O}_{6}

Step-by-step solution

The reaction between Cu2+{Cu}^{2 +} and KIKI will takes place as:

Cu2++2KI⟶CuI2↓Unstable+2K+{Cu}^{2 +} + 2KI ⟶ \mathop{{CuI}_{2} ↓}_{Unstable} + 2{K}^{+}

I−{I}^{-} is a strong reducing agent, it reduces Cu2+{Cu}^{2 +} to Cu+{Cu}^{+} and a white precipitate of Cu2I2{Cu}_{2}{I}_{2} is formed.

2CuI2⟶Cu2I2↓(White)′X′+I22{CuI}_{2} ⟶ \mathop{{Cu}_{2}{I}_{2} ↓}_{( White ) ' X '} + {I}_{2}

Sodium thiosulphate is used as reducing agent to titrate iodine, with iodide being the product of the reaction.

2Na2S2O3+I2→2NaI+Na2S4O6(Y)2{Na}_{2}{S}_{2}{O}_{3} + {I}_{2} \to 2NaI + \mathop{{Na}_{2}{S}_{4}{O}_{6}}_{( Y )}

So, the compound XandYX\text{and}Y are Cu2I2andNa2S4O6{Cu}_{2}{I}_{2}\text{and}{Na}_{2}{S}_{4}{O}_{6} respectively.
