Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For the following reaction, \[ \mathrm{BiO}_{3}^{-}+6 \mathrm{H}^{+}+x e^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Bi}^{3+}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \] On balancing charge on both sides \[ -1+6+x(-1)=3+3 \times 0 \] \[ \therefore \quad x=2 \]
