    The given solution of Mn²⁺ is 0.60 mg/mL.

    Hence mass of Mn²⁺ in 5 mL of solution = 0.60 mg/mL x 5 mL = 3 mg

    Molar mass of Mn = 54.9 g/mol

    Hence, moles of Mn²⁺ = 3 x 10⁻³ g / 54.9 g/mol = 5.46 x 10⁻⁵ mol

    The balanced equation for the reaction is,

    2Mn²⁺ + 5KIO₄ + 3H₂O → 2MnO₄⁻ + 5KIO₃ + 6H⁺

    The stoichiometric ratio between Mn²⁺ and KIO₄ is 2 : 5

    Hence, moles of KIO₄ reacted = 5.46 x 10⁻⁵ mol x (5 / 2)

    = 13.65 x 10⁻⁵ mol

    Molar mass of KIO₄ = 230 g/mol

    Hence needed mass of KIO₄ = 13.65 x 10⁻⁵ mol x 230 g/mol

    = 0.031395 g

    = 31.395 mg

    ≈ 31.4 mg
