NEET2018ChemistryRedox ReactionsActual
For the redox reaction: MnO 4 - + C 2 O 4 2 - + H + → Mn 2 + + CO 2 + H 2 O What are the correct coefficients of the reactants for the balanced equation?
Options
- AMnO 4 - C 2 O 4 2 - H + 2 16 5
- BMnO 4 - C 2 O 4 2 - H + 2 5 16
- CMnO 4 - C 2 O 4 2 - H + 16 5 2
- DMnO 4 - C 2 O 4 2 - H + 5 16 2
Correct answer
B. MnO 4 - C 2 O 4 2 - H + 2 5 16
Step-by-step solution
Multiplying 1 by 2 to balance e - 2 MnO 4 - + 5 C 2 O 4 - 2 + 16 H ⊕ → 2 Mn + 2 + 10 CO 2 + 8 H 2 O
