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