The suitable reagents for the conversion of methane into methyl iodide are
Options
- AI ₂, HNO ₂
- BI ₂, H ₂ O ₂
- CI ₂, H ₂ O
- DI ₂, HNO ₃
Correct answer
D. I ₂, HNO ₃
Step-by-step solution
CH ₄+ I ₂ CH ₃ I + HI Since, it is reversible process. Therefore, HNO ₃ is used to convert HI into I ₂ . 2 HNO ₃+2 HI 2 NO ₂+2 H ₂ O + I ₂ So, I ₂ and HNO ₃ are suitable reagents.
