The solubility of iodine in water may be increased by adding

A

Potassium iodide

B

Chloroform

C

Carbon disulphide

D

Sodium thiosulphate

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Adding KI to water increases the solubility of `I_2` in water. This is due to the formation of polyhalide `I_3^-` ion.
`KI(aq) + I_2(s) to overset(+)(K)I_3^(-)(aq)`
