In the reaction `C_2H_5OH + xI_2 + 6OH^(-) to CHI_3 + HCO_2^(-) + yI^(-) + 5H_2O` the value of x and y, respectively, are

A

2,1

B

3,3

C

4,5

D

5,7

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The balancing of negative charges on both sides of the reaction suggests that the stoichiometric numbers of `I_2` and `I^(-)` must be 4 and 5, respectively.
