    Excess of KI reacts with \[\text{CuS}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\]solution and then \[\text{N}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{S}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]solution is added to it. Which of the statements is incorrect for this reaction?

    A) \[\text{C}{{\text{u}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{I}}_{\text{2}}}\] is formed

    B) \[\text{Cu}{{\text{I}}_{2}}\] is formed

    C)  \[\text{N}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{S}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]is oxidised

    D)  Evolved \[{{\text{I}}_{2}}\] is reduced

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[CuS{{O}_{4}}+2KI\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\text{unstable}}{\mathop{Cu{{I}_{2}}}}\,+{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] \[2Cu{{I}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}C{{u}_{2}}{{I}_{2}}+{{I}_{2}}\] Thus, \[\text{Cu}{{\text{I}}_{\text{2}}}\]is not formed.
