Q.

When Cu2+ ion is treated with KI, a white precipitate, X appears in solution. The solution is titrated with sodium thiosulphate, the compound Y is formed. X and Y respectively are:                [2023]

1 X=CuI2          Y=Na2S2O3  
2 X=CuI2          Y=Na2S4O6  
3 X=Cu2I2         Y=Na2S4O6  
4 X=Cu2I2         Y=Na2S4O5  

Ans.

(3)

Cu2++4I-Cu2I2White'X'+I2

I2+2Na2S2O32Na2S4O6'Y'+2NaI

X=Cu2I2 and Y=Na2S4O6
