MCQ
Number of moles of $\mathrm{H}^{+}$ions required by $1 \mathrm{~mole}$ of $\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}$to oxidise oxalate ion to $\mathrm{CO}_2$ is . . .. . . 
  • $8$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    $15$
  • D
    $20$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$8$
a
$2 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}+5 \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{O}_4^{2-}+16 \mathrm{H}^{+} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}+10 \mathrm{CO}_2+8 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$

$\therefore$ Number of moles of $\mathrm{H}^{+}$ions required by 1 mole of 

$\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}$to oxidise oxalate ion to $\mathrm{CO}_2$ is 8
