In the reaction of oxalate with permanganate in acidic medium, the number of electrons involved in producing one molecule of `CO_(2)` is

A

10

B

2

C

1

D

5

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`2overset(+7)MnO_4^(-)+5C_2O_4^(2-)+16H^(+) rarr2Mn^(2+)+10CO_2+8H_2O`
10 electrons are involved for producing `10CO_2` molecules .
No . Of electrons involved for producing `1 CO_2` molecule = 1
