Assertion (A): HI cannot be prepared by the reaction of

\mathrm{KI}

with conc.

\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4

.

Reason (R):

\mathrm{HI}

has lowest

\mathrm{H}-X

bond strength among halogen acids.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Both

\mathrm{A}

and

\mathrm{R}

are correct;

\mathrm{R}

is not the correct explanation of A.

Option B is correct because both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. The instability of HI in the presence of conc. H2SO4 is due to its reducing nature, not its bond strength.
