                    The number of moles of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] that will be needed to react with one mole of sulphite ion in acidic solution is:                                                                                                                                                                         

    A)                 \[\frac{3}{5}\] 

    B)                          \[\frac{4}{5}\]                   

    C)                 \[\frac{2}{5}\]                   

    D)                 1

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                \[2KMn{{O}_{4}}+3{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+2MnS{{O}_{4}}+3{{H}_{2}}O+5[O]\]                 \[[MnO_{4}^{-}+8{{H}^{+}}+5{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}M{{n}^{2+}}+4{{H}_{2}}O]\times 2\]                 \[\underline{(SO_{3}^{2-}+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}SO_{4}^{2-}+2{{H}^{+}}+2{{e}^{-}})\times 5}\]                 \[\begin{align}   & 2MnO_{4}^{-}+6{{H}^{+}}+5SO_{3}^{2-}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}} \\  & 2M{{n}^{2+}}+SO_{4}^{2-}+3{{H}_{2}}O \\ \end{align}\]                 5 moles of sulphite ion react with = 2 moles of                 \[MnO_{4}^{-}\]                 So, 1 mole of sulphite ion react with = \[\frac{2}{5}\]moles of \[MnO_{4}^{-}\].
