$\text{KMnO}_4 + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 + \text{KI} \rightarrow$ ____ + ____ + ____ + ____
Answer
Answer
Equation: $2\mathrm{KMnO_{4}} + 8\mathrm{H_{2}SO_{4}} + 10\mathrm{KI} \longrightarrow 6\mathrm{K_{2}SO_{4}} + 2\mathrm{MnSO_{4}} + 8\mathrm{H_{2}O} + 5\mathrm{I_{2}}$
Potassium permanganate oxidises potassium iodide in acidic medium to iodine.
