0.5 g sample of copper ore is converted into `CuSO_4` solution. The resulting solution is acidified with dilute `CH_3COOH` (acetic acid) and excess KI added. The liberated `I_2` required 0.248 g `Na_2S_2O_3.5H_2O` for complete reaction. Calculate the percantage of Cu in the ore.

Answer» `Mw(Na_2S_2O_3.5H_2O)=248g`
`Ew=(248)/(1)(n=1)`
`Ew(CuSO_4 or Cu)=(M)/(1)`
`Cu-=CuSO_4-=KI-=I_2-=Na_2S_O_3`
`-=(0.248)/(248)=10^(-3)Eq`
" Eq of "`Cu=10^(-3)Eq`
"Weight of" of `Cu=EqxxEq=10^(-3)xx(63.5)/(1)g(n=1)`
`%` of `Cu=(63.5xx10^(-3)gxx100)/(0.5g)=(635xx100)/(1000xx5)=12.7%`
