Which among KI , FeSO ₄, ~K ₂ MnO ₄, KMnO ₄ can't be oxidised by O ₃ ?
Options
- AKl
- BFeSO ₄
- CK ₂ MnO ₄
- DKMnO ₄
Correct answer
D. KMnO ₄
Step-by-step solution
KMnO ₄ is not oxidised by O ₃ because KMnO ₄ produces MnO ₄⁻ ion, the Mn in this MnO ₄⁻ ion is in +VII oxidation state which is maximum for Mn. So, it cannot be further oxidised. Hence, the correct option is (4).
