Verified Solution • 2025–26 Session moderate

Consider the following reaction:

x M n O_{4}^{-} + y C_{2} O_{4}^{2 -}

+ zH⁺

\to

xMn²⁺ + 2yCO₂ +

\frac{z}{2} H_{2} O

The value's of x, y and z in the reaction are, respectively :

Accepted Answer

After balancing the reaction we get

2 M n O_{4}^{-} + 5 C_{2} O_{4}^{2 -}

+ 16H⁺

\to

2Mn²⁺ + 10CO₂ +

8 H_{2} O

∴

x

= 2,

y

= 5 and z = 16
