Question
An aqueous solution of salt containing an acidic radical X- reacts with sodium hypochlorite in neutral medium. The gas evolved produces blue black colour spot on the starch paper. The anion X- is :
Options
A.CH3COO-
B.Br-
C.I-
D.NO2-
Solution
OCl- + 3I- + H2O → I3- + 2OH- + Cl-.
I3- + starch → blue -black spot on starch paper due to the formation of iodine-starch adsorption complex.
I3- + starch → blue -black spot on starch paper due to the formation of iodine-starch adsorption complex.
