Q.6. WhyissulphuricacidnotusedduringthereactionofalcoholswithKI?
Solution: InthepresenceofsulphuricacidH2SO4,KIproducesHI.2KI(s)Potassiumiodide+H2SO4(l)Sulphuricacid→2KHSO4(s)Potassiumhydrogensulphate+2HI(g)Hydrogeniodide
SinceH2SO4isanoxidisingagent,itoxidisesHI(producedinthereactiontoI2).2HI(g)Hydrogeniodide+H2SO4(l)Sulphuricacid→SO2(g)Sulphurdioxide+I2(s)Iodine+H2O(l)Water
Thus,thereactionbetweenalcoholandHItoformanalkyliodidecannotoccur.Hence,sulphuricacidisnotusedduringthereactionofalcoholswithKI.Instead,anon-oxidisingacidsuchasH3PO4isused.
