You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Ba(H2PO2)2; BaH4P2O4

2+4+2x8=0; 2x = 2

x=22=+1.

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Na2S4O6

2+4x12=0

4x=10

x=104

x=52

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

[Co   (NH3)4ClNO2]

x+4(0)+1(1)+1(1)=0

x+011=0

x – 2 = 0; x = +2.

When KMnO4 acts as an oxidising agent and ultimately forms [MnO4]2,  MnO2,   Mn2O3,  Mn+2 then the number of electrons transferred in each case respectively is [AIEEE 2002]

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Number of e transferred in each case is 1, 3, 4, 5.

For the redox reaction MnO4+C2O42+H+Mn2++CO2+H2O the correct coefficients of the reactants for the balanced reaction are [IIT 1988, 92; BHU 1995; CPMT 1997; RPMT 1999; DCE 2000; MP PET 2003]

 

MnO4  

C2O42  

H+

Explanation

MnO4+8H++5eMn2++4H2O×2

C2O422CO2+2e×5

2MnO4+5C2O42+16H+2Mn2++10CO2+8H2O¯

Thus the coefficient of MnO4, C2O42 and H+ in the above balanced equation respectively are 2, 5, 16.  

Which of the following is the strongest oxidising agent [Pb. CET 2000]

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Higher is the reduction potential stronger is the oxidising agent. Hence in the given options. MnO4 is strongest oxidising agent.  

In the balanced chemical reaction,

IO3+aI+bH+cH2O+dI2

a, b, c and d respectively correspond to [AIIMS 2005]

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

IO3 + aI+ bH+ cH2O + dI2

Step 1 : I–1I2 (oxidation)

IO3I2 (reduction)

Step 2 : 2IO3 + 12H+I2 + 6H2O

Step 3 : 2IO3 + 12H+ + 10eI2 + 6H2O

2II2 + 2e

Step 4 : 2IO3 + 12H+ + 10eI2 + 6H2O

[2II2 + 2e]5

Step 5 : 2IO3 + 10I + 12H+ → 6I2 + 6H2O

IO3 + 5I + 6H+ → 3I2 + 3H2O

On comparing, a = 5, b = 6, c = 3, d = 3

The number of moles of KMnO4 reduced by one mole of KI in alkaline medium is: [CBSE PMT 2005]

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

In alkaline medium 

2KMnO4+KI+H2O2MnO2+2KOH+KIO3.
