`I^(-)(aq.)+MnO_(4)^(-)(aq.)overset(H^(+))toX+Mn^(2+)(aq.)`
`I^(-)(aq.)+MnO_(4)^(-)(aq.) underset("weakly "OH^(-))overset("Neutral or")to Y+MnO_(2)`
`MnO_(4)^(-)(aq.)+Mn^(2+)(aq.) overset(ZnSO_(4)) to Z+4H^(+)`
Product X, Y and Z are respectively.

Options

A. `I_(2),IO_(3)^(-),MnO_(2)`
B. `IO_(3)^(-),I_(2),MnO_(2)`
C. `I_(2),IO_(3)^(-),MnO_(4)^(2-)`
D. `IO_(3)^(-),I_(2),MnO_(4)^(2-)`

Answer

A

Explanation

`MnO_(4)^(-)` in basic medium is better oxidant than acidic medium, hence oxidises `I^(-)(aq.)` ion upto `IO_(3)^(-)(aq.)` ion.
