You want to determine the Cu(II) concentration in an unknown solution by titration.
You will first precipitate Cu2+ from the solution by adding an excess of iodide ion

Cu2+(aq) + I (aq) CuI(s) + I2(aq) [unbalanced]

The corresponding amount of iodine (I2) formed will then be titrated with a sodium
thiosulfate solution:

S2O32-(aq) + I2(aq) S4O62-(aq) + I (aq) [unbalanced]

The end-point of the titration is reached when all the I2 has reacted. At this point, the
violet starch indicator has turned white. Use the following values from the laboratory
data sheet to calculate the concentration of Cu2+ in the unknown.
