The solubility of iodine in water increases in the presence of

A

alcohol

B

chloroform

C

sodium hydroxide

D

potassium iodide

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Iodine has the least affinity for water and is only slightly soluble in it. However, it dissolves in `10%aq`. Solution of `KI` due to the formation of a complex ion i.e., `I_(3)^(-)`.
`I_(2)+KI hArr KI_(3)` or `I_(2)+I^(-) hArr I_(3)^(-)` (complex ion)
