Q32 / 92 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · Redox Reactions

Consider the following reactions:

(i) C2O42-→CO2

(ii) SO42-→SO32-

(iii) MnO42-→MnO4-

(iv) Fe3+→Fe2+

Choose the correct answer: -

  • A
    i & (ii) shows oxidation
  • B
    iii & iv shows reduction
  • Correct answer
    C
    i & iii shows oxidation
  • D
    iii & iv shows oxidation

Solution

In C2O42-→CO2 oxidation number of carbon change from +3 to +4 .

In SO42-→SO32- oxidation number of sulphur change from +6 to+4 .

In MnO42-→MnO4- oxidation number of Mn change from +6 to+7 .

In Fe3+→Fe2+ oxidation number of carbon change from +3 to +2.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
