Question 19

Which statement correctly describes the trend in the reducing ability of halide ions down Group 7, and identifies the reduction products of concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4H2​SO4​) when it reacts with solid potassium iodide (KI\text{KI}KI)?

A

Reducing ability decreases down the group, and the only reduction product is SO2\text{SO}_2SO2​.

B

Reducing ability decreases down the group, and the reduction products include SO2\text{SO}_2SO2​, S\text{S}S, and H2S\text{H}_2\text{S}H2​S.

C

Reducing ability increases down the group, and the only reduction product is SO2\text{SO}_2SO2​.

D

Reducing ability increases down the group, and the reduction products include SO2\text{SO}_2SO2​, S\text{S}S, and H2S\text{H}_2\text{S}H2​S.
