Question

The principal product obtained on heating iodide with caustic soda solution

Answer 1

Answer:

NaI, NaOI and H2O are the principal product.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is cold NaOH, then:

I2+2NaOH(cold, dil.)→NaI+NaOI+H2O

If it is hot NaOH, then:

3I2+6NaOH (hot, conc.)→5NaI+NaIO3+3H2O
