The correct Answer is:
To determine the total number of reagents that can oxidize the aqueous iodide ion (I⁻) to iodine (I₂), we will analyze each reagent one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reagents**: The reagents listed are: - Acidified K₂Cr₂O₇ - Alkaline KMnO₄ - CuSO₄ - H₂O₂ - Cl₂ - O₃ - HNO₃ - Na₂S₂O₃ 2. **Acidified K₂Cr₂O₇**: - Potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇) is a strong oxidizing agent in acidic medium. - Reaction: 6KI + K₂Cr₂O₇ + 7H₂SO₄ → 3I₂ + 4K₂SO₄ + Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 7H₂O - **Conclusion**: Can oxidize I⁻ to I₂. 3. **Alkaline KMnO₄**: - Potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) is a strong oxidizing agent, but in alkaline medium, it oxidizes iodide to iodate (KIO₃) instead of I₂. - **Conclusion**: Cannot oxidize I⁻ to I₂. 4. **CuSO₄**: - Copper(II) sulfate (CuSO₄) can act as an oxidizing agent. - Reaction: 4KI + CuSO₄ → 2CuI + I₂ + 2K₂SO₄ - **Conclusion**: Can oxidize I⁻ to I₂. 5. **H₂O₂**: - Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is a good oxidizing agent. - Reaction: 2KI + H₂O₂ → I₂ + 2KOH - **Conclusion**: Can oxidize I⁻ to I₂. 6. **Cl₂**: - Chlorine gas (Cl₂) is a strong oxidizing agent. - Reaction: 2KI + Cl₂ → 2KCl + I₂ - **Conclusion**: Can oxidize I⁻ to I₂. 7. **O₃**: - Ozone (O₃) is also a strong oxidizing agent. - Reaction: 2KI + O₃ + H₂O → I₂ + 2KOH + O₂ - **Conclusion**: Can oxidize I⁻ to I₂. 8. **HNO₃**: - Nitric acid (HNO₃) is a strong oxidizing agent. - Reaction: 6KI + 4HNO₃ → 3I₂ + 4KNO₃ + 2H₂O + 2NO - **Conclusion**: Can oxidize I⁻ to I₂. 9. **Na₂S₂O₃**: - Sodium thiosulfate (Na₂S₂O₃) is a reducing agent and cannot oxidize iodide ions. - **Conclusion**: Cannot oxidize I⁻ to I₂. ### Summary of Findings: - The reagents that can oxidize I⁻ to I₂ are: 1. Acidified K₂Cr₂O₇ 2. CuSO₄ 3. H₂O₂ 4. Cl₂ 5. O₃ 6. HNO₃ ### Total Count: - Total number of reagents that can oxidize I⁻ to I₂ = 6 ### Final Answer: The total number of reagents that can oxidize aqueous I⁻ ion to I₂ is **6**. ---

To determine the total number of reagents that can oxidize the aqueous iodide ion (I⁻) to iodine (I₂), we will analyze each reagent one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reagents**: The reagents listed are: - Acidified K₂Cr₂O₇ - Alkaline KMnO₄ - CuSO₄ ...
