A red solid is insoluble in water. However, it becomes soluble if some K I is added to water. Heating the red solid in a test tube results in liberation of some violet coloured fumes and droplets of a metal appear on the cooler parts of the test tube. The red solid is

Options

  1. AH g I 2
  2. BH g O
  3. CP b 3 O 4
  4. DN H 4 2 C r 2 O 7

Correct answer

A. H g I 2

Step-by-step solution

H g I 2 is orange-red in appearance and hardly soluble in water. It dissolves in excess of I - giving complexes H g I 3 - and H g I 4 2 - . Violet fumes are liberated due to the release of Iodine gas upon heating.
