NEETChemistryRedox Reactions
What is the net balanced equation for the given redox reaction after canceling electrons on both sides?
Options
- A6I-(aq) + 2MnO4- (aq) + 4H 2 O(l) → 3I 2 (s) + 2MnO 2 (s) + 8OH-(aq)
- B6I-(aq) + 2MnO4- (aq) + 4H 2 O(l) → 3I 2 (s) + 2MnO 2 (s) + 4OH-(aq)
- C6I-(aq) + MnO4- (aq) + 4H 2 O(l) → 3I 2 (s) + 2MnO 2 (s) + 8OH-(aq)
- D3I-(aq) + MnO4- (aq) + 2H 2 O(l) → 3I 2 (s) + MnO 2 (s) + 4OH-(aq)
