    The number of moles of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] reduced by one mole of KI in alkaline medium is

    A)  one-fifth            

    B)         five                      

    C)  one                      

    D)         two

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    In alkaline solution, \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] is reduced to \[Mn{{O}_{2}}\] (colourless). \[2KMn{{O}_{4}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{\,}\,2Mn{{O}_{4}}+2KOH\,\,+3\,[O]\,KJ+3[O]\,\xrightarrow{\,}\,KI{{O}_{3}}\] ____________________________________________________________________ \[2KMn{{O}_{4}}+2{{H}_{2}}O+KI\xrightarrow{\,}\,2Mn{{O}_{2}}+2KOH+KI{{O}_{3}}\] ____________________________________________________________________ Hence, two moles of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] are reduced by one mole of KI.
