The solubility of iodine in water may be increased by adding

A

Chloroform

B

Potassium iodide

C

Carbon disulphide

D

Sodium thiosulphate.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The solubility of `I_2` in water increases by the addition of KI due to formation of polyhalide ion
i.e., `I_3^-`
`KI+I_2to KI_3`
or
`I^(-) +I_2 to I_3^(-)`
