    In the following balanced reaction,\[X\,MnO_{4}^{-}+Y\,{{C}_{2}}O_{4}^{2-}+Z{{H}^{+}}\]\[X\,M{{n}^{2+}}+2Y\,C{{O}_{2}}+\frac{Z}{2}{{H}_{2}}O\]values of X, Y and Z respectively are     JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 12 May 2012)

    A) 2,5,16   

    B)                        8,2,5

    C)                        5,2,16                                   

    D)                        5,8,4

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

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