MCQ
Consider the following chemical reaction $\text{MnO}_4^-\text{(aq)}+\text{I}^-\text{(aq)}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{MnO}_2\text{(s)}+\text{I}_2\text{(s)}$ Which of the following reactions is an oxidation half $-$ reaction?
  • A
    $\text{MnO}_4^- \text{(aq)}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } \text{MnO}_2\text{(s) }$
  • $\mathrm{I}^{-}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{I}_2(\mathrm{~s})$.
  • C
    Both $(a)$ and $(b).$
  • D
    None of the above.

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\mathrm{I}^{-}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{I}_2(\mathrm{~s})$.
$\text{MnO}^-_4\text{(aq)}+\text{I}^-\text{(aq)}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{MnO}_2+\text{I}_2\text{(s)}$
Oxidation half reaction : $\text{I}^-\text{(aq)}\text{}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{I}_2\text{(s)}$
Reduction half reaction : $\text{MnO}^-_4\text{(aq)}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{MnO}_2\text{(s)}$
