Solid I2 is freely soluble in water but only in the presence of excess KI.
Solid I2 is freely soluble in CCl4.
Solid I2 is freely soluble in hot water.
Show Solution
The Correct Option isB, C
Solution and Explanation
Statement 1:False. Solid iodine (I2) has limited solubility in water.
Statement 2:True. Iodine (I2) exhibits increased solubility in water when potassium iodide (KI) is present, attributed to the formation of triiodide (I−3) complexes.
Statement 3:True. Iodine (I2) readily dissolves in non-polar solvents such as carbon tetrachloride (CCl4).
Statement 4:False. Iodine (I2) does not readily dissolve in hot water.
