Solution
The correct option is DO3 I−toI2 oxidation can be done by acidified K2Cr2O7,CuSO4,H2O2 K2Cr2O7+KI+H2SO4→K2SO4+Cr2(SO4)3+I2+H2O 2CuSO4+4KI+→CuI↓+I2+2K2SO4 H2O2+2KI→2KOH+I2 2KI+Cl2→2KCl+I2 H2O+2KI+O3→2KOH+O2+I2 FeCl3+2KI→2KCl+FeCl2+I2 HNO3+KI→KNO3+I2+NO↑ Na2S2O3+KI→no reaction
In H2O2andO3,I−toI2oxidation will occur initially.
However as concentration of KOH builds up, it will begin causing disproportination resulting I2toIO−3
In alkaline KMnO4 iodide is oxidised to iodate.
