Q20 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (01 Sep Shift 2) · Chemistry

Hydrogen peroxide reacts with iodine in basic medium to give :

A
${IO}^{-}$
B
${IO}_{3}^{-}$
Correct answer
C
$I^{-}$
D
${IO}_{4}^{-}$

Solution

H_{2} O_{2} + I_{2} + {OH}^{-} ⟶ O_{2} + 2 I^{-} + 2 H_{2} O

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
