Which of the following reactions of KMnO ₄ occurs in acidic medium?
Options
- AOxidation of thiosulphate to sulphate
- BPrecipitation of sulphur from H ₂ ~S
- COxidation of iodide to iodate
- DOxidation of manganous salt to MnO ₂
Correct answer
B. Precipitation of sulphur from H ₂ ~S
Step-by-step solution
In acidic medium hydrogen sulphide is oxidsed, sulphur being precipitated aligned & H ₂ ~S 2 H ⁺+ S ²⁻ & 5 ~S ²⁻+2 MnO ₄⁻+16 H ⁺ 2 Mn ²⁺+8 H ₂ O +5 ~S aligned
