Assertion (A) : In the reaction between potassium permanganate and potassium iodide, permanganate ions act as oxidising agent. Reason ( R) : Oxidation state of manganese changes from +2 to +7 during the reaction.

Assertion (A) : In the reaction between potassium permanganate and pot

1.	Assertion (A) : In the reaction between potassium permanganate and potassium iodide, permanganate ions act as oxidising agent. Reason ( R) : Oxidation state of manganese changes from +2 to +7 during the reaction.
Answer» Both A and R are TRUE and R is the correct explanation of A. Both A and R true but R is not the correct explanation of A. A is true but R is false. Both A and R are false. Solution :`10KI+overset(+7)(2KMnO_(4))+8H_(2)SO_(4)tooverset(+2)(2MnSO_(4))+6K_(2)SO_(4)+8H_(2)O+5I_(2)` Oxidation STATE of MN decreases from +7 to +2.
