Assertion : HI cannot be prepared by the...

Assertion : HI cannot be prepared by the reaction of KI with concentrated `H_(2)SO_(4)`
Reason : HI has lowest H-X bond strength among halogen acids.

A

Both assertion and reason are correct statements, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

Both assertion and reason are correct statements, but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

Assertion is correct, but reason is wrong statement.

D

Both assertion and reason are wrong statement.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Correct explanation. HI being a strong reducing agent reduces `H_(2)SO_(4)` to `SO_(2)` and itself gets oxidised to `I_(2) or H_(2)SO_(4)` being an oxidising agent oxidises HI to `I_(2)` .
