    The solubility of iodine in water increases in the presence of

    A) Alcohol             

    B) Chloroform

    C) Sodium hydroxide

    D)   Potassium iodide

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Iodine has the least affinity for water and is only slightly soluble in it. However, it dissolves in \[10\,%\] aq. Solution of KI due to the formation of a complex ion, i.e., \[2NaCl+2{{H}_{2}}O\,\,\to \,\,2NaOH\,\,+\,\,\underset{(anode)}{\mathop{C{{l}_{2}}}}\,\,\,+\,\,\underset{(cathode)}{\mathop{{{H}_{2}}}}\,\] \[{{I}_{2}}+KI\rightleftharpoons K{{I}_{3}}\,\,or\,\,{{I}_{2}}+{{I}^{-}}\rightleftharpoons \,I_{3}^{-}\,(complex\,\,ion)\]
