On addition of conc.H2SO4 to a chloride salt, colourless fumes are evolved but in case of iodide salt, violet fumes come out. This is because (1) H2SO4 reduces HI to I2 (2) HI is of violet colour (3) HI gets oxidised to I2 (4) HI changes to HIO3

Answer: (3) HI gets oxidised to I2 Because hydrogen iodide is a more powerful reducing agent than sulphuric acid, it converts H2SO4 to SO and... View Article
