Answer to Problem 1Q
The product of the reaction between hydrogen ion, peroxide and iodide ion is water and iodine gas.
The balanced reaction is as given below,
The color of the formed product varies with the concentration of peroxide in the substrate. If the concentration is high the color is brown while low concentration gives a yellow color.
Explanation of Solution
The reaction between iodide ion, peroxide and hydrogen ion reacts to form water and iodine gas as a product. The reaction can be given as,
To balance the equation place a coefficient 2 in front of
The yellow color is of iodine gas. The concentration of the peroxide in the substrate decides the color of the product formed. If the concentration of peroxide is less the color is yellow while higher concentration leads to brown color.
Thus, the product of the reaction between hydrogen ion, peroxide and iodide ion is iodine gas and the color depends on the concentration of peroxide in the substrate.
