  • question_answer
    When \[C{{l}_{2}}\] water is added to a salt solution containing chloroform, chloroform layer turns violet. Salt contains [CPMT 1982]

    A) \[C{{l}^{-}}\]

    B) \[{{I}^{-}}\]

    C) \[NO_{3}^{-}\]

    D) \[{{S}^{2-}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    As \[C{{l}^{-}}\]is more electronegative than \[B{{r}^{-}}\] and \[{{I}^{-}}\] \[\therefore \] it replaces them from their salt as \[2{{I}^{-}}+C{{l}_{2}}\to {{I}_{2}}+2C{{l}^{-}}\Rightarrow \text{Violet}\ \text{vapour}\]   \[2B{{r}^{-}}+C{{l}_{2}}\to B{{r}_{2}}+2C{{l}^{-}}\Rightarrow \text{Brown vapour}\]
