    A simple method to remove peroxides from ethers is to treat them with an aqueous solution of

    A) \[KI\]                                    

    B) \[KCNS\]

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

    D) \[B{{r}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Ether peroxide oxidises \[KI\] into \[{{I}_{2}}\] and itself gets reduced to ether. Therefore, \[KI\] is added to remove peroxides from ethers.                 \[2{{I}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{I}_{2}}+2{{e}^{-}}\] Ether peroxide\[+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}ether+{{O}_{2}}\]
