Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Reduction Half Oxidation Half \(2 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{MnO}_2\) \(2 \mathrm{I}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{I}_2+2 \mathrm{e}^{-}\) \(2 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}+4 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+6 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{MnO}_2+8 \mathrm{OH}^{-}\)…
