Why does iodine remain in solution when KI is present, forming KI3?

Options

  1. AIodine forms a stable complex with KI3.
  2. BKI3 is highly soluble in water.
  3. CIodine reacts with KI3 to form iodide ions.
  4. DKI3 precipitates as a solid.

Correct answer

A. Iodine forms a stable complex with KI3.

Step-by-step solution

Iodine remains in solution when KI is present because it forms a stable complex, KI3, which keeps iodine dissolved.
