A 0.5 g sample of an iron containing mineral mainly in the form of `CuFeS_2` was reduced suitable to convert all the ferric ions into the ferrous form and was obtained as a solution. In the absence of any interfering matter, the solution required 42 " mL of " 0.1 M `K_2Cr_2O_7` solution for titration calculate the percentage of `CuFeS_2` in the mineral `(Cu=63.5,Fe=55.8)`

Answer» Equivalent weight of `CuFeS_2=` molecular weight
`CuFeS_2toCuSdarr+FeS`
`FeS+H_2SO_4toFeSO_4+H_2Suarr`
`2FeSO_4+H_2SO_4+OtoFe(SO_4)_3+H_2O`
Molecular weight of `CuFeS_2=63.5+55.8+64=183.3g`
`42 " mL of " 0.01 M K_2Cr_2O_7=42xx0.01xx6NK_2Cr_2O_7`
`=2.52 m" Eq of "K_2Cr_2O_7`
`=2.52m" Eq of "Fe^(2+)`
`=2.52 m" Eq of "CuFeS_2`
`=2.52 m" Eq of "CuFeS_2`
`=2.52xx10^(-3)xx18.3g of CuFeS_2`
`=0.4619 g of CuFeS_2`
`%` of `CuFeS_2=(0.4619xx100)/(0.5)=92.38%`
