Select the correct statements (iodometry with excess KI; masses: Cu 63.5, S 32, O 16, H 1).
AThe equivalent mass of CuSOX4⋅5HX2O (249.5 g/mol) is 124.75 g/eq
BIn 2SX2OX3X2−SX4OX6X2−+2eX−, the n-factor of thiosulfate is 1
C0.1 mol of KIOX3 liberates 0.3 mol of IX2 from excess acidified KI
D1 mol of KX2CrX2OX7 liberates 3 mol of IX2 from excess acidified KI
Answer: B, C, D
CuSOX4⋅5HX2O gains 1 e− per CuX2+ (n = 1), so equivalent mass is 249.5, not 124.75 (false). Two thiosulfate lose 2 e− in total, so n = 1 (true). IOX3X−+5IX−+6HX+3IX2+3HX2O gives 3 mol IX2 per mol (true), so 0.3 mol from 0.1 mol. CrX2OX7X2− gains 6 e−, giving 3 IX2 (true).
