Correct answer: B. Purple colour

  • A. Red colour
  • B. Purple colour
  • C. Blue colour
  • D. Yellow colour

Explanation

Iodine dissolves in non-polar carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, to form a violet or purple solution because the molecular iodine absorbs visible light selectively. Students may choose yellow because iodine can appear brown or yellow-brown in some dilute or different media, but its characteristic colour in CCl4 is purple.

About Properties of Liquids

Liquid behavior depends on intermolecular forces, which produce surface tension, viscosity, capillary action and a definite volume without a fixed shape. The topic also covers vapor pressure, evaporation, boiling point and the effect of temperature and external pressure, while distinguishing evaporation at the surface from boiling throughout the liquid.
