A white solid imparts a violet colour to a Bunsen flame. On being heated with concentrated \( \boldsymbol{H}_{2} \boldsymbol{S} \boldsymbol{O}_{4}, \) the solid gives violet vapours that turns starch paper blue. The salt may be :
- A. Nal
- B. KI
- C. \( C a B r_{2} \)
- D. \( M g I_{2} \)
Step-by-step solution
The violet flame indicates the presence of potassium (K+). Concentrated H2SO4 oxidizes iodide (I-) to iodine (I2), which forms violet vapors and turns starch paper blue. KI fits both observations.
