Colourless solution of silver nitrate is taken in two test tubes A and B. Metal plates of copper and platinum are dipped into test tubes, A and B respectively. Content of test tubes ____________.

action of alkalis on some metals and metal oxides analytical chemistry properties of acids and bases acids, bases and salts chemistry

  1. B turns green

  2. B turns blue

  3. A turns blue

  4. A remains colourless

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In test tube A, displacement reaction takes place as copper being more reactive displaces silver from silver nitrate solution thus leading to the formation of copper nitrate which is blue in colour. The chemical reaction can be written as:
$Cu + Ag(NO _{3}) _{2} \rightarrow Cu(NO _{3}) _{2} + Ag$

When sodium iodide is heated with concentrate sulphuric acid,the vapour evolved is-
