What is the final product of the reaction between hydrogen and iodine, as described by Arrhenius?
Options
- AHydrogen and iodine molecules
- BAn unstable intermediate
- CTwo molecules of hydrogen iodide
- DUnchanged hydrogen and iodine
Correct answer
C. Two molecules of hydrogen iodide
Step-by-step solution
According to Arrhenius, the unstable intermediate formed by the collision of hydrogen and iodine molecules breaks up to form two molecules of hydrogen iodide, which is the final product.
