Question: Upon mixing C u ( N O 3 ) 2 * 3 H 2 O ( 1 m M ) with N a 2 S

Upon mixing Cu(NO3)2*3H2O(1mM) with Na2S2O3*5H2O(2mM), and heating at 180C, pure CuS was produced. However, upon taking 6mM of Na2S2O3, CuS along with S was obtained. Answer following
(a) What thermogram is shown in the right side figure ?[1]
(b) In case of pure CuS (curve a), write the possible products after first mass loss of 12%(upon heating to -380C in oxygen/air) with reason.
[3]
(c) Why there was a larger mass loss in curve b?
[1]
(d) After the first mass loss, there are three mass gains (region II, III and IV) and one mass loss (above 700C). What possibie products are expected and how would you confirm those.
[3]
(e) Schematically draw TG curves for (i) boiling in a crucible with a small hole in the lid and (ii) sublimation in a crucible without a lid.
