Solubility of iodine in water may be increased by adding
Options
(a) chloroform
(b) potassium iodide
(c) carbon disulphide
(d) sodium thiosulphte
Correct Answer:
potassium iodide
Explanation:
The solubility of I₂ in water increases by the addition of KI due to formation of polyhalide ion, i.e. I⁻₃. KI + I₂ → KI₃.
