~ To determine the strength of a given copper sulphate solution with 10 Sodium Thiosulphate | (hypo) solution: paratus Required ~ Burette, pipette, conical flask etc. agent Required Zs Copper sulphate solution, 10% KI solution, Sodium thiosulphate ution (N/40) , starch indicator. jeory Copper sulphate is determined by iodometric method. When is added to CuSO, solution, cuprous iodide is precipitated and uivalent amount of Iodine get liberated. This free iodine is then rated against standard solution of hypo, using starch as an indi- . The blue colour of iodostarch complex will disappear till all berated iodine get changed to Nal. Due to formation of cu- us iodide the colour of precipitate in conical flask will be white. iis indicates the end point. _ 2CuSO, + 4KI -> 2 Cul + 2K,SO, +L, Na,S,O, + I, > Na,S,O, + 2Nal _ (Sod.

Fill the clean burette with hypo solution (N/40) and titrate the CuSO, solution in the conical flask until yellow colour becomes to decrease. : :iv) Add 2-3 drops of starch to it. Blue colour appears due to iodostarey complex. (v) Add again hypo solution to it, till blue colour disappears and white colour appears due to Cul. (vi) Repeat the titration for three or four times to get at least two concordant reading. 10 ml. CuSO, solution + 5-6 ml.

Pure CuSO, hydrated with H. 0 is in complex form, so it hay blue colour. Q. 2. Which type of titration is of CuSO, Vs Na,S,0,? Ans. _ Redox titration. Q. 3... What is Redox titration? Ans. — Those titration in which both oxidation and reduction cei simultaneously. Q. 4. What are iodine titration? Ans. The redox titration using iodine directly orindirectly asan oxidizifi| agent are called iodine titration. | Q. 5. How many types ot iodine titration are there? Ans. Two types - (i) lodomettic titrations (i) lodimetrig trains Q. 6.
