MCQ
In weak alkaline medium iodide is changed in following compound by $KMnO_4$
  • A
    $I_2$
  • B
    $KI$
  • C
    $IO^{-}_{2}$
  • $IO^{-}_{3}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$IO^{-}_{3}$
d
$2 KMnO _4+ H _2 O + KI \rightarrow 2 MnO _2+2 KOH + KIO _3$

$I +6 OH ^{-} \rightarrow IO _3^{-}+3 H _2 O +6 e ^{-}$

When alkaline $KMnO 4$ is treated with $KI ^{-}{ }^{}$is oxidised to $IO _3{ }^{-}$.
