Both assertion (A) and (B) are true.
Explanation:
Both assertion (A) and (B) are true.
- Iodination of alkanes is carried out in the presence of iodic acid.
- The iodination reaction is a reversible reaction.
- HI is a strong reducing agent and it reduces alkyl iodide back to alkane.
CH4+I2 ⇔ CH3I+HI
- To prevent the reversible reaction, some oxidizing agents such as mercuric oxide (HgO) are added.
- For example, iodic acid (HIO 3 ) or dilute nitric acid (HNO 3 ) are used which decompose HI acid.
