Consider the following reaction:
xMnO 4 – + yC 2 O 4 2– + zH + → xMn 2+ + 2yCO 2 + 
H 2 O
The values of x, y and z in the reaction are, respectively:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
MnO 4 – + C 2 O 4 2– + H + 
Mn 2 + CO 2 + H 2 O
vf = 1(7 –2) vf = 2(3–2)
= 5 = 2
Balanced Equation:
2MnO 4 – + 5C 2 O 4 2– + 16 H + 
2Mn 2+ + 10 CO 2 + 8H 2 O
So, x = 2, y = 5 & z = 16.
