In the chemical reaction between stoichiometric quantities of KMnO 4 and KI in weakly basic solution, what is the number of moles of I 2 released for 4 moles of KMnO 4 consumed?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
6
(6)
In slightly alkaline medium, 
reduces to MnO 2 while 
is oxidized to I 2 .
So, 2 mol of KMnO 4 can produce 3 mole of I 2
4 mol of KMnO 4 can produce 6 mole of I 2
