    The following redox reaction is balanced by which set of coefficients?
    \[aZn+bNO_{3}^{-}+c{{H}^{+}}\to dNH_{4}^{+}+e{{H}_{2}}O+fZ{{n}^{2+}}\]

    A)
    a-1 b-1 c-10 d-1 e-3 f-1

    B)
    a-2 b-2 c-10 d-2 e-3 f-2

    C)
    a-4 b-2 c-10 d-1 e-3 f-4

    D)
    a-4 b-1 c-10 d-1 e-3 f-4

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[Zn\to Z{{n}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\]                             ? (i)
    \[8{{e}^{-}}+10{{H}^{+}}+NO_{3}^{-}\to NH_{4}^{+}+3{{H}_{2}}O\] ? (ii)
    Operate eq. \[(i)\times 4+eq.(ii)\times 1\]
    \[4Zn+10{{H}^{+}}+NO_{3}^{-}\to 4Z{{n}^{2+}}+NH_{4}^{+}+3{{H}_{2}}O\]
