You wish to determine the weight percent of copper in a copper-containing alloy. After dissolving a 0.251-g

Question:

You wish to determine the weight percent of copper in a copper-containing alloy. After dissolving a 0.251-g sample of the alloy in acid, an excess of KI is added, and the Cu2+ and I ions undergo the reaction2 Cu+ (aq) + 5 I-(aq)  2 Cul(s) + 13(aq)

The liberated I3 is titrated with sodium thiosulfate according to the equation

13(aq) + 2 S032 (aq)  S4O2(aq) + 31-(aq)

(a) Designate the oxidizing and reducing agents in the two reactions above. 

(b) If 26.32 mL of 0.101 M Na2S2O3 is required for titration to the equivalence point, what is the weight percent of Cu in the alloy?
