Q8 / 105 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · d and f Block Elements

Excess of KI reacts with CuSO4 solution and then Na2S2O3 solution is added to it. Which of the statements is incorrect in this reaction?

  • A
    Evolved I2 is reduced
  • Correct answer
    B
    CuI2 is formed
  • C
    Na2S2O3 is oxidised
  • D
    Cu2I2 is formed

Solution

When excess of KI reacts with Copper sulphate followed by addition of hypo the reactions are as follows
2CuSO4+4KI→Cu2I2+2K2SO4+I2
I2+2Na2S2O3→Na2S4O6+2NaI
This liberated I2 is reduced and Na2S2O3 is oxidised.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
