Consider the following reaction
`x MnO_(4)^(-) + C_(2)O_(4)^(2-) + zH^(+) rarr x Mn^(2+) + 2y CO_(2) + (z)/(2)H_(2)O`
The value of x, y and z in the reaction are respectively

Options

A. 5,2 and 8
B. 5,2 and 16
C. 2,5 and 8
D. 2,5 and 16

Answer

D

Explanation

The balanced chemical equation is :
`2MnO_(4)^(-) + 5C_(2)O_(4)^(-) + 16H^(+) to 2Mn^(2+) + 10CO_(2) + 10CO_(2)+ 8H_(2)O`
` x= 2 , y= 5, z=16`.
