Question

Give chemical reactions for potassium permanganate is a good oxidising agent in basic medium

Answer 1

Hey !!

MnO₄⁻ + 2H₂O + 3e⁻ -----> MnO₂ + 4OH⁻ ] × 2

                I⁻  + 6OH⁻ ------> IO⁻₃ + 3H₂O + 6e⁻

__________________________________________

_2MnO₄⁻ + I⁻ + H₂O -------> IO₃⁻ + 2MnO₂ + 2OH⁻

Good luck !!
