Question
Consider the following reaction:
x MnO4- + y C2O42- + z H+ → x Mn2+ + (2y) CO2 + (z/2) H2O
The values of x, y and z in the reaction are respectively :-
Options
A.5,2 and 16
B.2,5 and 8
C.2, 5 and 16
D.5,2 and 8
Solution
(i) MnO4- + 8H+ + 5e- → Mn+2 + 4H2O
(ii) C2O4-2 → 2CO2 + 2e-
⇒ (i)2 + (ii) 5
2MnO4- + 16H+ + 5C2O4-2 → 2Mn+2 + 8H2O + 10CO2
Given equation :
On comparing with balanced equation
we get ; x = 2, y = 5, z = 16.
