What happens when acidified kmno4 is added to KI solution

Solution

Dear Student,
Reaction of acidified KMnO₄ with KI will be a redox reaction where I will be oxidized and Mn will be reduced. The colour of KMnO₄ will be decolourized.
The molecular reaction is as follows-
$10 K I + 8 H_{2} S O_{4} + 2 K M n O_{4} \to 5 I_{2} + 2 M n S O_{4} + 2 K_{2} S O_{4} + 8 H_{2} O$
The change in oxidation state of Mn is from +7 to +2
Change in oxidation state of I = -1 to 0.
Regards!
