An aqueous solution containing one mole ...

An aqueous solution containing one mole of `HgI_2` and two moles of NaI is orange in colour. On addition of excess NaI the solution becomes colourless. The orange colour reappears on subsequent addition of NaOCl. Explain with equation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`HI_(2)` has orange/scarlet colour
It issolves in sodium iodide due to the formation of complex
`HgI_(2) + 2NaI rarr Na_(2) HgI_(4)`
With `NaOCI` again a precipitate of `HgI_(2)` is formed
`3Na_(2)HgI_(4) +2NaOCI+2H_(2)O`
`rarr 3HgI_(2) +2NAI_(3) + 4NaOH + 2NaCI` .
