NEETChemistryRedox Reactions
Why does iodine remain in solution when KI is present, forming KI 3 ?
Options
- AIodine forms a stable complex with KI 3 .
- BKI 3 is highly soluble in water.
- CIodine reacts with KI 3 to form iodide ions.
- DKI 3 precipitates as a solid.
Correct answer
A. Iodine forms a stable complex with KI 3 .
Step-by-step solution
Iodine remains in solution when KI is present because it forms a stable complex, KI 3 , which keeps iodine dissolved.
