47 The solids sodium chloride and sodium iodide both react with concentrated sulfuric acid at room
temperature.
With NaCl, the products are NaHSO, and HCI.
With Nal, the products are NaHSO,, HI, I,, SO,, H,0, S and H,S.
What is the explanation for this difference in products?
A Chloride ions will displace iodine from the solution.
B Hydrogen chloride is more volatile than hydrogen iodide.
©) Iodide ions are better reducing agents than chloride ions.
D Sulfuric acid is able to act as a dehydrating agent with Nal.
