KMnO_4 reacts with KI , in basic medium to form I_2 and MnO_2 ....

KMnO4\mathrm{KMnO}_4 reacts with KI\mathrm{KI}, in basic medium to form I2\mathrm{I}_2 and MnO2\mathrm{MnO}_2. When 250 mL250 \mathrm{~mL} of 0.1MKI0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{KI} solution is mixed with 250 mL250 \mathrm{~mL} of 0.02MKMnO40.02 \mathrm{M}\mathrm{KMnO}_4 in basic medium, what is the number of moles of I2\mathrm{I}_2 formed?

Options

  1. A0.0150.015
  2. B0.00750.0075
  3. C0.0050.005
  4. D0.010.01

Correct answer

B. 0.00750.0075

Step-by-step solution

⌈-factor =1⟶MnO4−+I−⇌MnO2+I2⨆n-factor =3⇌\begin{array}{r}\lceil\text {-factor }=1 \longrightarrow \\ \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}+\mathrm{I}^{-} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{MnO}_2+\mathrm{I}_2 \\ \bigsqcup_{n \text {-factor }=3}^{\rightleftharpoons}\end{array}Number of milli equivalents of MnO4−=0.02×3×250=15\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}=0.02 \times 3 \times 250=15 Number of milli equivalents of I2=0.1×1×250=25\mathrm{I}_2=0.1 \times 1 \times 250=25 Thus, here MnO4−\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}is limiting reagent. ∴\therefore Number of milli equivalents of I2\mathrm{I}_2 formed = Number of milli equivalent of MnO4−=15\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}=15 or number of equivalent of I2\mathrm{I}_2 formed =\frac{15}{1000}=0.0.015\begin{aligned} \therefore \text { Number of moles of } \mathrm{I}}_{2} \text { formed } & =\frac{0.015}{2}\\ & =0.0075 \end{aligned}$
