Question

When a compound X reacts with ozone in aqueous medium, a compound Y is produced. Ozone also reacts with Y and produces compound Z. Z acts as an oxidizing agent, then X, Y and Z will be

Options

A.X = HI, Y = I2 and Z = HIO3
B.X = KI, Y = I2 and Z = HIO3
C.X = KI, Y = I2 and Z = HIO4
D.X = HI, Y = I2 and Z = HIO4

Solution

Sol. 2KI + H2​O + O3 ​ → 2KOH + I2​ + O2​

So, X is KI and Y is I2​.

I2 ​+ H2​O + 5O3 ​→ 2HIO3 ​+ 5O2​

Z is HIO3​.
