In the neutral or faintly alkaline medium, KMnO 4 oxidises iodide into iodate. The change in oxidation state of manganese in this reaction is from
Options
- A+ 6 to + 4
- B+ 7 to + 3
- C+ 6 to + 5
- D+ 7 to + 4
Correct answer
D. + 7 to + 4
Step-by-step solution
KMnO 4 acts as an oxidising agent. In neutral or faintly alkaline medium When alkaline KMnO 4 is treated with KI , iodide ion is oxidised to iodate IO 3 - and KMnO 4   is   reduced   to   MnO 2 . The chemical reaction can be given as, 2 KMnO 4 + H 2 O + KI → 2 MnO 2 + 2 KOH + KIO 3 The change in oxidation state of manganese in this reaction is from + 7   to   + 4 .
