The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the formation of a white precipitate when copper sulfate solution is treated with potassium iodide and excess hypo solution is added, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Identify the Reactants**: - The reactants involved are copper sulfate (CuSO₄) and potassium iodide (KI). 2. **Write the Reaction**: - When copper sulfate reacts with potassium iodide, the following reaction occurs: \[ \text{CuSO}_4 + 2 \text{KI} \rightarrow \text{CuI}_2 + \text{K}_2\text{SO}_4 + \text{I}_2 \] - Here, copper(I) iodide (CuI) is formed along with potassium sulfate (K₂SO₄) and iodine (I₂). 3. **Add Excess Hypo Solution**: - The hypo solution is sodium thiosulfate (Na₂S₂O₃). When iodine is present in the solution, it reacts with sodium thiosulfate: \[ \text{I}_2 + 2 \text{Na}_2\text{S}_2\text{O}_3 \rightarrow 2 \text{NaI} + \text{Na}_2\text{S}_4\text{O}_6 \] - This reaction reduces iodine to iodide ions (NaI). 4. **Identify the White Precipitate**: - The white precipitate formed in the initial reaction is due to the formation of copper(I) iodide (CuI). - The compound CuI is known to be a white precipitate. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the white precipitate formed in the reaction is due to the formation of copper(I) iodide (CuI). ### Final Answer: The white precipitate is due to the formation of **CuI (copper(I) iodide)**.
