kmno4 reacts with ki in basic medium to form i2and mno2. when 250 ml of 0.1M ki sol^n is mixed with 250ml of 0.02M kmno4 in basic medium, what is the no. of moles of i2 formed?

Given  250 ml of 0.1M  K I   =>  0.025 moles 
and    250 ml  of 0.02M  of KMnO₄  =>  0.005 moles

I am not sure of the reaction that takes place.... We need to find the products and then balance equation first.

     2 K Mn O₄ + 6 K I   => 2 Mn O₂  +  3 I₂   + 4 K₂ O

  So   n moles of Potassium Permanganate reacts with 3 n moles of potassium iodide to produce 1.5 n moles of Iodine gas.

So 0.005 moles of permanganate will react with 0.015 moles of Iodide, and produce 0.0075 moles of Iodine gas.
================================

If the reaction is 
    2 K MnO₄ + 6 K I + 4 H₂ O   ==>   3 I₂ + 2 Mn O₂  + 6 K OH
then,
       n moles of permanganate will react with 3 n moles of Iodide and produce 1.5 moles of Iodine....  Hence we will have  0.0075 moles of Iodine gas.
