In the reaction of oxalate with permanganate in acidic medium, the number of electrons involved in producing one molecule ofCO2is:

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

2 MnO4-+5C2O42-+16H+10 CO2+2 Mn2++8H2O

C goes from +3 oxidation state to +4 oxidation state.

Total 10 e- are transferred for 10 molecules of CO2.

Hence, for 1 molecule of CO2, only one e- is transferred.
So, number of electrons involved for 1 molecule of CO2  is 1.
