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?
