Answer

See answer below.

Work Step by Step

a) First reaction: $Cu^+$ is reduced (ox. number: +2 to +1), so it's the oxidizing agent. $I^-$ is oxidized (ox. number: -1 to -1/3), so it's the reducing agent. Second reaction: $I^-$ is reduced (ox. number: -1/3 to -1), so it's the oxidizing agent. $S_2O_3^{2-}$ is oxidized (S ox. number: +2 to +5/2), so it's the reducing agent. b) Number of moles of sodium thiosulfate: $26.32\ mL\times 0.101\ M=2.66\ mmol$ From stoichiometry: $1.33\ mmol\ I_3^-, 2.66\ mmol\ Cu^{2+}$ $2.66\ mmol\times 63.546\ mg/mmol=168.9\ mg$ Mass percentage: $0.169/0.251\times 100\%=67.3\%$
