In alkaline medium. MnO 4 - oxidises I - to
Options
- AIO 4 -
- BIO -
- CI 2
- DIO 3 -
Correct answer
D. IO 3 -
Step-by-step solution
In neutral or faintly alkaline solution the oxidation of iodide to iodate taken place with potassium permanganate. 2 MnO 4 - + H 2 O + I - → 2 MnO 2 + 2 OH - + IO 3 - In the above reaction MnO 4 - is an oxidising agent and I - is a reducing agent. Hence option D is the answer.
