Titration problem.
« on: January 26, 2009, 09:36:46 AM »
mineral was analysed for and  percentage. 10g of it was boiled with dil. sulphuric acid and diluted to 1L. 10 ml of this solution required 2 ml of 0.01 M in acidic medium. IN another titration, 25 ml of the same solution required 5 ml of 0.01 M solution iodometrically. Calculate percentage of Cu and Fe in the mineral.

I just don't know what reactions are taking place, so calculation of the valency or no. of equivalents is impossible.

Permanganate part is obvious - this is a standard method of determining one of the elements present in the compound.

What happens to Cu2+(aq) when treated with iodide?

Let me put it this way:
What are the oxidation states of copper and iron in that mineral?

The iodometric one i'm aware of. Cu(II) is after all, to some extent an oxidant...

Identical ;)

How do you say that?
