One of the products formed from the reaction of permanganate ion with iodide ion in neutral aqueous medium is
- I2
- IO3-
- IO4-
- IO2-
Answer
(2) IO3-
Solution
In neutral/faintly alkaline medium MnO4- is reduced to MnO2 and iodide is oxidised to iodate.
2MnO4- + H2O + I- 2MnO2 + 2OH- + IO3-
(In acidic medium the product would be I2.)
