Q10 / 180 · KCET 2018 · Chemistry

\( \mathrm{KMnO}_{4} \) acts as an oxidising agent in alkaline medium. When alkaline \( \mathrm{KMnO}_{4} \) is treated
with \( \mathrm{KI} \), iodide ion is oxidized to

  • A
    \( I_{2} \)
  • B
    IO
  • Correct answer
    C
    \( \mathrm{IO}_{3} \)
  • D
    \( I O_{4} \)

Solution

\( \mathrm{KMnO}_{4} \) (as an oxidizing agent) \( 2 \mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-}+\mathrm{H}, \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{I}^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{MnO},+2 \mathrm{OH}^{-}+\mathrm{IO}_{3}^{-} \)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
