MCQ
Which reaction has positive value of $\Delta G^o$ ?
  • A
    ${F_2} + {H_2}O\,\xrightarrow{{R.T.}}2HF + \frac{1}{2}{O_2} \uparrow $
  • B
    $C{l_2} + {H_2}O\,\xrightarrow{{R.T.}}HCl + HOCl$
  • C
    $B{r_2} + {H_2}O\,\xrightarrow{{R.T.}}HBr + HOBr$
  • ${I_2} + {H_2}O\,\xrightarrow{{R.T.}}HI + HOI$

Answer

Correct option: D.
${I_2} + {H_2}O\,\xrightarrow{{R.T.}}HI + HOI$
d
${I_2} + {H_2}O{\mkern 1mu} \xrightarrow{{R.T.}}2HI + \frac{1}{2}{O_2},\,\,\Delta G$ of this reaction is positive, hence oxidation of $I^-(aq.)$ into $I_2$ is feasible.
