Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(25\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The reaction given is: \(MnO _4^{-}+8 H ^{+}+5 e ^{-} \rightarrow Mn ^{2+}+4 H _2 O\) In this reaction, \(1\, mole\) \(MnO _4{ }^{-}\)reduces to form \(Mn ^{2+}\) and for this reaction \(5 F e^{-}\)are required. \(MnO _4{ }^{-} \rightarrow Mn ^{2+}\) \(+7 \quad\quad+2\) Now,…
