In the oxidation of sulphite to sulphate using permanganate, the number of `H^(+)` ions in the balanced equation is:

A

5

B

2

C

6

D

3

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The redox reaction involved is: `2MnO_(4)^(-) + 5SO_(3)^(2-) + 6H^(+) to 2 Mn^(2+) + 5SO_(4)^(2-) + 3H_2 O`
Each manganese centre consumes two protons.
