Statement-II: Iodic acid removes Iodine gas from the reaction mixture.A.Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true; Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1B.Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true; Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1C.Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is falseD.Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true

The correct answer is B.

Statement-I: Iodination of alkanes is carried out in the presence of iodic acid.
This statement is true. Iodic acid (HIO3) is commonly used as an oxidizing agent in the iodination of alkanes.

Statement-II: Iodic acid removes Iodine gas from the reaction mixture.
This statement is also true. In the presence of iodic acid, iodine gas (I2) is liberated, which then reacts with the alkane to form iodoalkanes.

However, Statement-II does not provide a correct explanation for Statement-I. The presence of iodic acid facilitates the generation of iodine gas, but it doesn't directly participate in the iodination process. Therefore, Statement-II is not the correct explanation of Statement-I.
