Question

In the balancing of $MnO_4^- + H_2C_2O_4 \rightarrow Mn^{2+} + CO_2$ in acidic medium, the ratio of $Mn^{2+}$ to $CO_2$ produced is:

Answer: A

💡 Solution & Explanation

Balanced reaction: $2MnO_4^- + 5H_2C_2O_4 + 6H^+ \rightarrow 2Mn^{2+} + 10CO_2 + 8H_2O$. <br>Ratio $Mn^{2+} : CO_2 = 2 : 10 = 1 : 5$. [1, 2]
