In neutral medium potassium permanganate oxidises $F$ to X. Identify the X
  1. Iodine
  2. Iodate
  3. Periodate
  4. Hypoiodite

Solution

In neutral or faintly alkaline medium, iodide ion oxidised to iodate in as: $2 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{I}^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{MnO}_2+2 \mathrm{OH}^{-}+\mathrm{IO}_3^{-}$ (Iodate ion)
