  1. A \(\mathrm{I}_2, \mathrm{HNO}_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{I}_2, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{I}_2, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{I}_2, \mathrm{HNO}_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{I}_2, \mathrm{HNO}_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{CH}_4+\mathrm{I}_2 \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{I}+\mathrm{HI}\) Since, it is reversible process. Therefore, \(\mathrm{HNO}_3\) is used to convert \(\mathrm{HI}\) into \(\mathrm{I}_2\).…
