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

A

`KI`

B

`KCNS`

C

`Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3)`

D

`Br_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Ether peroxide oxidises KI into `I_(2)` and itself gets reduced to ether. Therefore, KI is added to remove peroxides from ethers.
`2I^(-) rarr I_(2)+2e^(-)`
`"Ether peroxide "+2e^(-) rarr "Ether "+O_(2)`
