Solution
The correct option is A6.096 g 2.14 g of KIO3 corresponds to 2.14214=0.01 moles. 100 ml of 0.4MKI solution corresponds to 1001000×0.4=0.04 moles. 0.001 moles of KIO3 will give 0.005 moles of KI. However, only 0.04 moles of KI are present. Thus, KI is the limiting reagent. Mass of iodine obtained is 0.04×35×254=6.096 g.
