AIIMS 2019 Chemistry Oxidizing Agents MCQ Question
Which of the following complex is optically inactive
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In the reaction between I₂O₅ and CO, iodine (I₂) is produced as a result of the reduction of I₂O₅, which acts as a strong oxidizing agent. The oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO₂) occurs simultaneously, but the primary product of the reduction of I₂O₅ is iodine. Other options are incorrect because carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a product of the reaction, while carbon monoxide (CO) is the reactant being oxidized, and oxygen is not produced in this specific reaction.
