The correct Answer is:
To solve the given redox reactions and find the sum of the coefficients \(x + y + p + q + r\), we will analyze each reaction step by step. ### Reaction i: \[ 2Fe^{2+} + H_2O_2 \rightarrow xA + yB \] 1. **Identify the oxidation states**: - In \(Fe^{2+}\), iron is in the +2 oxidation state. - In \(H_2O_2\), the oxidation state of oxygen is -1. 2. **Determine the products**: - \(Fe^{2+}\) is oxidized to \(Fe^{3+}\). - \(H_2O_2\) is reduced to \(OH^-\). 3. **Write the half-reactions**: - Oxidation half-reaction: \[ Fe^{2+} \rightarrow Fe^{3+} + e^- \] (2 moles of \(Fe^{2+}\) will produce 2 moles of \(Fe^{3+}\)) - Reduction half-reaction: \[ H_2O_2 + 2e^- \rightarrow 2OH^- \] 4. **Balance the half-reactions**: - For every 2 moles of \(Fe^{2+}\), we need 1 mole of \(H_2O_2\). - The balanced reaction is: \[ 2Fe^{2+} + H_2O_2 \rightarrow 2Fe^{3+} + 2OH^- \] 5. **Identify coefficients**: - Here, \(x = 2\) (for \(Fe^{3+}\)) and \(y = 2\) (for \(OH^-\)). ### Reaction ii: \[ 2MnO_4^- + 6H^+ + 5H_2O_2 \rightarrow pA + qB + rC \] 1. **Identify the oxidation states**: - In \(MnO_4^-\), manganese is in the +7 oxidation state. - In \(H_2O_2\), the oxidation state of oxygen is -1. 2. **Determine the products**: - \(MnO_4^-\) is reduced to \(Mn^{2+}\). - \(H_2O_2\) is oxidized to \(O_2\). 3. **Write the half-reactions**: - Reduction half-reaction: \[ MnO_4^- + 8H^+ + 5e^- \rightarrow Mn^{2+} + 4H_2O \] - Oxidation half-reaction: \[ 5H_2O_2 \rightarrow 5O_2 + 10H^+ + 10e^- \] 4. **Balance the half-reactions**: - The overall balanced reaction combining both half-reactions is: \[ 2MnO_4^- + 6H^+ + 5H_2O_2 \rightarrow 2Mn^{2+} + 8H_2O + 5O_2 \] 5. **Identify coefficients**: - Here, \(p = 2\) (for \(Mn^{2+}\)), \(q = 8\) (for \(H_2O\)), and \(r = 5\) (for \(O_2\)). ### Final Calculation: Now, we sum the coefficients: \[ x + y + p + q + r = 2 + 2 + 2 + 8 + 5 = 19 \] ### Answer: The sum of the coefficients \(x + y + p + q + r\) is **19**.
