    Iodine readily dissolves in potassium iodide solution giving

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

    B)  \[K{{I}^{-}}\]

    C)  \[KI_{2}^{-}\]                                   

    D)  \[K{{I}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     odine readily dissolves in potassium iodide solution giving \[K{{I}_{3}}.\] \[KI+{{I}_{2}}\to K{{I}_{3}}(aq)\] \[K{{I}_{3}}(aq){{K}^{+}}(aq)+I_{3}^{-}(aq)\] Note: \[{{\text{I}}_{\text{2}}}\]is more soluble in an aqueous solution of KI than in pure water, it is due to the formation of polyhalide (\[\text{I}_{3}^{-}\]ion)
