JEE Advanced levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 3 of 3qa144
Chlorine water is added to separate solutions of sodium halides, each shaken with CClX4, the second addition being in large excess. Select all correct statements.
AChloride gives no colour change in the CClX4 layer because chlorine water cannot oxidise ClX−.
BBromide gives an orange-brown CClX4 layer because BrX2 is formed.
CWith excess chlorine water, the violet iodide layer turns colourless as iodine is oxidised from 0 to +5.
DWith excess chlorine water, the iodide layer stays violet since iodine cannot be oxidised further.
Answer: A, B, C
ClX2+2BrX−2ClX−+BrX2 gives orange-brown. No reaction occurs with chloride. IX2+5ClX2+6HX2O2HIOX3+10HCl decolourises the iodine layer, taking I from 0 to +5, so the last statement is false.
