Give ionic equations for the oxidation of iodides with `KMnO_(4)` in acidic medium and in alkaline medium.

Explanation

Inacidic medium )
(Mn) (O)_(4)^(-)+8 (H)^(+)+5 (e)^(-) rarr (Mn)^(2+)+4 (H)_(2) (O) xx 2
(2 t rarr (.I_(2)+2 e^(-) xx 5)/(1).)/(101+2 M n O_(4)+16 H^(*) rarr 2 M n^(2+)+5 I_(2)+8 H_(2) O)
