What will be the value of x, y and in the following equation?
Options
- A2, 1, 2
- B1, 2, 2
- C2, 2, 1
- D1, 2, 1
Correct answer
B. 1, 2, 2
Step-by-step solution
(i) The half reaction for oxidation is,
Balancing carbon atoms on both sides,
Balancing hydrogen atoms on both sides,
Balancing the charge on both sides,
...(i)
(ii) The half reaction for reduction is‐
Balancing oxygen atoms on both sides,
Balancing hydrogen atoms,
Balancing the charge,
...(ii)
Now, adding both equations,
This is balanced equation so x, y, z are 1,2,2 respectively.
Balancing carbon atoms on both sides,
Balancing hydrogen atoms on both sides,
Balancing the charge on both sides,
...(i)
(ii) The half reaction for reduction is‐
Balancing oxygen atoms on both sides,
Balancing hydrogen atoms,
Balancing the charge,
...(ii)
Now, adding both equations,
This is balanced equation so x, y, z are 1,2,2 respectively.
