Correct answer: 0.31TO0.33

  1. Reaction of Cu(NO3)2\mathrm{Cu(NO_3)_2}Cu(NO3​)2​ with excess KI

Copper(II) ions oxidize iodide ions to iodine, and themselves get reduced to copper(I) iodide precipitate.

The reaction is:

2 Cu2++4 I−→2 CuI(s)+I22\,\mathrm{Cu^{2+}} + 4\,\mathrm{I^-} \rightarrow 2\,\mathrm{CuI}(s) + \mathrm{I_2}2Cu2++4I−→2CuI(s)+I2​

So, from 222 mol of Cu2+\mathrm{Cu^{2+}}Cu2+, we get 111 mol of I2\mathrm{I_2}I2​.

The brown solution is due to dissolved I2\mathrm{I_2}I2​.


  1. Moles of Cu(NO3)2\mathrm{Cu(NO_3)_2}Cu(NO3​)2​

Molar mass of Cu(NO3)2\mathrm{Cu(NO_3)_2}Cu(NO3​)2​:

=63+2(14+3×16)= 63 + 2(14 + 3\times 16)=63+2(14+3×16) =63+2(14+48)= 63 + 2(14+48)=63+2(14+48) =63+124=187= 63 + 124 = 187=63+124=187

Thus,

n(Cu(NO3)2)=3.74187=0.02 moln\big(\mathrm{Cu(NO_3)_2}\big)=\frac{3.74}{187}=0.02\text{ mol}n(Cu(NO3​)2​)=1873.74​=0.02 mol

So, moles of Cu2+=0.02\mathrm{Cu^{2+}} = 0.02Cu2+=0.02 mol.


  1. Moles of iodine formed

Using

2 Cu2+→I22\,\mathrm{Cu^{2+}} \rightarrow \mathrm{I_2}2Cu2+→I2​

Therefore,

n(I2)=0.022=0.01 moln(\mathrm{I_2})=\frac{0.02}{2}=0.01\text{ mol}n(I2​)=20.02​=0.01 mol


  1. Reaction of iodine with H2S\mathrm{H_2S}H2​S

Hydrogen sulfide reduces iodine to iodide and itself gets oxidized to sulfur:

I2+H2S→2HI+S(s)\mathrm{I_2 + H_2S \rightarrow 2HI + S}(s)I2​+H2​S→2HI+S(s)

Thus, 111 mol of I2\mathrm{I_2}I2​ gives 111 mol of sulfur precipitate XXX.

So,

n(X)=n(S)=0.01 moln(X)=n(S)=0.01\text{ mol}n(X)=n(S)=0.01 mol


  1. Mass of precipitate XXX

Since X=SX = \mathrm{S}X=S,

m=n×M=0.01×32=0.32 gm = n\times M = 0.01 \times 32 = 0.32\text{ g}m=n×M=0.01×32=0.32 g


  1. Final Answer

0.32 g\boxed{0.32\text{ g}}0.32 g​

As an integer-type entry style, the numerical value is:

32 (if entered as 0.32 g, value is 0.32)\boxed{32}\text{ (if entered as }0.32\text{ g, value is }0.32)32​ (if entered as 0.32 g, value is 0.32)

Here the asked amount in grams is clearly 0.32 g\boxed{0.32\text{ g}}0.32 g​.
