Question

In the reaction of oxalate with permanganate in acidic medium, the number of electrons involved in producing one molecule of CO₂ is :
(A) 1 (B) 10
(C) 2 (D) 5

Answer 1

the number of electrons which are involved in production of one molecule of carbon dioxide is equal to one

option a

Explanation:

• the reaction of oxalate with pomegranate in acidic medium is an example of redox reaction. The half reactions are given below

The  half-reaction in which oxidation is involved is:

• 5C2O42- -------> 10CO2(g) + 10e-

The  half-reaction in which reduction is involved is:

• 2MnO4- + 16H+ + 10e- ---------> 2Mn2+(aq) + 8H2O(l)

Hence the full reaction combining the two half reaction is,

• 5C2O42 +2MnO4- + 16H+ ---------> 10CO2(g) +2Mn2+(aq) + 8H2O(l)

• for production of 10 molecules of carbon dioxide 10 electrons are required and pro for production of one molecule of carbon dioxide one electron is required
