In alkaline medium. MnO _ 4 ^ - oxidises I ^ - to

In alkaline medium.

{MnO}_{4}^{-}

oxidises

{I}^{-}

Options

A ${IO}_{4}^{-}$
B ${IO}^{-}$
C ${I}_{2}$
D ${IO}_{3}^{-}$

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.

$2{MnO}_{4}^{-} + {H}_{2}O + {I}^{-} \to 2{MnO}_{2} + 2{OH}^{-} + {IO}_{3}^{-}$ In the above reaction ${MnO}_{4}^{-}$ is an oxidising agent and ${I}^{-}$ is a reducing agent.

Hence option D is the answer.
