On adding a solution of (A) into the solution of cupric chloride, a white precipitate is first formed which dis- solves on adding excess of (A) forming a compound (E). Identify (A) to (E) and give chemical equations for the reactions at steps (i) to (iv).

Answer»


Answer :The REACTIONS indicate that the compound (A) is sodium thiosulphate. It is FORMED in step (i) by passing gas (B) which is either `I_(2)`.
`2Cu^(2+)+underset("white ppt.")(3S_(2)O_(3)^(2-) rarr) Cu_(2)S_(2)O_(3) darr +S_(4)O_(6)^(2-)`
`underset("White ppt.")(3Cu_(2)S_(2)O_(3)) darr +underset("(excess)")(2Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3)) rarr underset("(E) soluble complex")(Na_(4)[Cu_(6)(S_(2)O_(3))_(5)])`
