    In the following balanced reaction, \[XMnO_{4}^{-}+Y{{C}_{2}}O_{4}^{2-}+Z{{H}^{+}}\] \[\rightleftharpoons XM{{n}^{2+}}+2YC{{O}_{2}}+\frac{Z}{2}{{H}_{2}}O\] values of X, Y and Z respectively are

    A) 2, 5, 16            

    B) 8, 2, 5

    C) 5, 2, 16            

    D) 5, 8, 4

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[XMnO_{4}^{-}+Y{{C}_{2}}O_{4}^{2-}+Z{{H}^{+}}\rightleftharpoons \] \[XM{{n}^{+2}}+2YC{{O}_{2}}+\frac{Z}{2}{{H}_{2}}O\] First half reaction \[MnO_{4}^{-}\xrightarrow{{}}M{{n}^{+2}}\]           .... (i) On balancing \[MnO_{4}^{-}+8{{H}^{+}}+5{{e}^{-}}\to M{{n}^{+2}}+4{{H}_{2}}O\]           .... (ii) Second half reaction \[{{C}_{2}}O_{4}^{2-}\xrightarrow{{}}2C{{O}_{2}}\]                         ....(iii) On balancing \[{{C}_{2}}O_{4}^{2-}\xrightarrow{{}}2C{{O}_{2}}+2{{e}^{-}}~\]             .... (iv) On multiplying eqn. (ii) by 5 and (iv) by 2 and then adding we get \[2MnO_{4}^{-}+5{{C}_{2}}O_{4}^{2-}+16{{H}^{+}}\xrightarrow{{}}2M{{n}^{+2}}+10C{{O}_{2}}+8{{H}_{2}}O\]
