    A salt gives violet vapours when treated with conc. \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]. It contains [DPMT 1981; CPMT 1971]

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

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

    C) \[B{{r}^{-}}\]

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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Iodine vapours are violet  \[\therefore \] the salt must contain \[{{I}^{-}}\]as \[KI+{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\to KHS{{O}_{4}}+HI\] \[2HI+{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\,\,\,\,\to \underset{\text{violet vapour}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}{\mathop{{{I}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}O+S{{O}_{2}}}}\,\]
