  • question_answer
      A red solid is insoluble in water. However it becomes soluble if some KI is added to water. Heating the red solid in a test tube results in liberation of some violet colored fumes and droplets of metal appear on the cooler part of the test tube. The red solid is

    A) \[HgO\] 

    B) \[P{{b}_{3}}{{O}_{4}}\]

    C) \[{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\]           

    D) \[Hg{{I}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[Hg{{I}_{2}}+2KI\to {{K}_{2}}Hg{{I}_{4}}\] Also \[Hg{{I}_{2}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }Hg+{{I}_{2}}\uparrow (violet)\] Hg being volatile metal deposits at cooler part of test tube.
