On reaction with stronger oxidizing agent like , hydrogen peroxide oxidizes with the evolution of . The oxidation number of I in changes to ____.

Answer: 5

Solution

In , the oxidation state of iodine is +7 (since K is +1, each O is -2: ).

When acts as an oxidizing agent with :


In , the oxidation state of iodine is +5 (since ).

Therefore, the oxidation number of I changes from +7 to +5.
