Answer to Question #93903 in General Chemistry for Kylie

Question

Consider the reaction of sodium hypochlorite with iodine

Describe the colour changes that take place during this experiment. What is the colour at the end point?

Answer 1

The redox reaction is possible. The colour of the solution in the begining of the reaction is brown due to presence of Iodine 0. In the end solution will become colourless, because all the Iodine will be oxidised.
