Question

I^-(aq.) + MnO4^-(aq.) -H+-> X + Mn^2+(aq.); I^-(aq.) + MnO4^-(aq.) -Neutral or weakly OH--> Y + MnO2; MnO4^-(aq.) + Mn^2+(aq.) -ZnSO4-> Z + 4H^+. Products X, Y and Z are respectively :

Answer: A

💡 Solution & Explanation

MnO4^- in basic medium is better oxidant than acidic medium, hence oxidises I^-(aq.) ion upto IO3^-(aq.) ion.
