An iodide of "A" element (A2In) is oxidized to IO−3 and AO, by MnO−4 in acidic medium. If 5×10−3mol of A2In requires 700mL of 0.02MKMnO4 solution for complete oxidation, which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?

Solution
The correct options are A The value of n=2 B Empirical formula of iodide is AI A2In+MnO−4H+−−→IO−3+AO+Mn2+ Here oxidation of both A and I is taking place so n-factor (nfactor) of A2In is sum of the two. oxidation state of A in A2In=n/2 nfactor= (change in oxidation state) x (total number of atoms) so, nfofA2In=nf(I)+nf(A)=6×2+(2−n2)×2=16−n and nf of MnO−4=5 equating the number of equivalents we get: equivalentsA2In=equivalentsMnO−4
moles×nfactor(A2In)=moles×nfactor(MnO−4)
5×10−3×(16−n)=700×0.02×51000 n=2
so, option (a) is correct and the compound is A2I2 and hence option (b) is correct: Empirical formula of the idoide =AI
nf of A2I2=12+2=14
A2I2nf=14+K2Cr2O7nf=6H+−−→IO−3+AO+Cr3+
equiA2I2=equiK2Cr2O7
0.15×14=nK2Cr2O7×6
nK2Cr2O7 used
=0.15×146=0.15×73=0.35
hence option (c) is incorrect
option (d) is incorrect, "A" is not a first group metal as it shows variable oxidation state.
