Which among \(\mathrm{KI}, \mathrm{FeSO}_4, \mathrm{~K}_2 \mathrm{MnO}_4, \mathrm{KMnO}_4\) can't be oxidised by \(\mathrm{O}_3\) ?

  1. A \(\mathrm{Kl}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{FeSO}_4\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{MnO}_4\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{KMnO}_4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{KMnO}_4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{KMnO}_4\) is not oxidised by \(\mathrm{O}_3\) because \(\mathrm{KMnO}_4\) produces \(\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}\)ion, the \(\mathrm{Mn}\) in this \(\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}\)ion is in +VII oxidation state which is maximum for Mn. So, it cannot be further oxidised. Hence, the correct…
