Assertion: Iodination of alkanes is carried out in the presence of oxidising agents like HIO3 or HNO3. Reason: Iodination of alkanes is an irreversible reaction. (A) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion (B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion (C) If assertion is true but reason is false (D) If both assertion and reason are false

lodination of alkanes is a reversible reaction and therefore it is carried out with oxidising agents like

H I O_{3}

and

H N O_{3}

which combine with

H I

so that the reaction goes in forward direction.

C H_{4} + I_{2} ⇌ C H_{3} I + H I, H I O_{3} + 5 H I \to 3 I_{3} + 3 H_{2} O

A - X + 2 N a + X - B \to A - A + B - B + A - B + B - A

Q. Assertion : Iodination of alkanes is carried out in the presence of oxidising agents like HIO3​ or HNO3​. Reason : Iodination of alkanes is an irreversible reaction.

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

If assertion is true but reason is false

If both assertion and reason are false

lodination of alkanes is a reversible reaction and therefore it is carried out with oxidising agents like HIO3​ and HNO3​ which combine with HI so that the reaction goes in forward direction. CH4​+I2​⇌CH3​I+HI,HIO3​+5HI→3I3​+3H2​O A−X+2Na+X−B→A−A+B−B+A−B+B−A
