Hi,
Im trying to explain the results of the following reaction of copper(II) which was performed in lab:
Solid potassium iodate followed by sodium hypochlorite solution were added to copper(II) sulfate solution and then the mixture was acidified with dilute HCl.
A white precipitate formed and there was vigorous production of gas.
Im thinking the precipitate may be CuI but Im not sure. Any help on what reactions are occuring would much appreciated.
Thanks.
