Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula textReducing Power propto frac1textStandard Reduction Potential (E^circ_textred) ### Core Logic A stronger reducing agent undergoes oxidation more easily, which corresponds to the lowest standard reduction potential value among the given options. Comparing the given values: * E^circ_mathrmMnO_4^-/mathrmMn^2+ = +1.51mathrm V * E^circ_mathrmCl_2/mathrmCl^- = +1.36mathrm V * E^circ_mathrmCr_2mathrmO_7^2-/mathrmCr^3+ = +1.33mathrm V * E^circ_mathrmCr^3+/mathrmCr = -0.74mathrm V Since mathrmCr^3+/mathrmCr has the lowest standard reduction potential (-0.74mathrm V), elemental metallic mathrmCr is the most easily oxidized and is therefore the strongest reducing agent. ### Pattern Recognition To find the strongest reducing agent, simply look for the lowest or most negative reduction potential. Ensure you pick the species on the right side of the reduction half-reaction (the reduced form, which will act as the reducer). ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Redox Reactions Class 12 Chemistry: Electrochemistry

  • A. (A) and (D) only
  • B. (B) and (C) only
  • C. (A) and (B) only
  • D. (C) and (D) only

Solution

### Core Logic Let's find the moles of I^- in 200text mL of 0.1text M KI: textMoles = 0.1 times 0.2 = 0.02text mol According to the stoichiometry: * 5text moles I^- ightarrow 1text mole IO_3^- Therefore, 0.02text mol I^- reacts with frac0.025 = 0.004text mol of KIO_3. Statement (A) is correct. * For Statement (D), Iodine goes from +5 state in IO_3^- to 0 state in I_2. The change in oxidation state per iodine atom is 5. textEquivalent weight = fractextMolecular weight5 Statement (D) is correct. ### Step 1: Check Statement B and C For 200text mL KI (0.02text mol): 5text moles I^- text requires 3text moles H_2SO_4 implies 0.02 times frac35 = 0.012text mol Hence, Statement (B) is false. For 0.5text L KI (0.05text mol): 0.05 times frac35 = 0.03text mol I_2 Hence, Statement (C) is false. ### Pattern Recognition Always focus on checking the n-factor calculation directly from oxidation states for quick elimination of equivalence statements. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Redox Reactions
Q27 2025 Titration and Autocatalysis
Given below are two statements : Statement I: In the oxalic acid vs mathrmKMnO_4 (in the presence of dil mathrmH_2mathrmSO_4 ) titration the solution needs to be heated initially to 60^circmathrmC , but no heating is required in Ferrous ammonium sulphate (FAS) vs mathrmKMnO_4 titration (in the presence of dil mathrmH_2mathrmSO_4 ) Statement II : In oxalic acid vs mathrmKMnO_4 titration, the initial formation of mathrmMnSO_4 takes place at high temperature, which then acts as catalyst for further reaction. In the case of FAS vs mathrmKMnO_4 , heating oxidizes mathrmFe^2+ into mathrmFe^3+ by oxygen of air and error may be introduced in the experiment. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
  • A. textStatement I is false but Statement II is true.
  • B. textBoth Statement I and Statement II are true.
  • C. textStatement I is true but Statement II is false
  • D. textBoth Statement I and Statement II are false.

Solution

### Related Formula Oxalic acid titration equation: 2mathrmMnO_4^- + 5(mathrmCOO)_2^2- + 16mathrmH^+ rightarrow 10mathrmCO_2 + 2mathrmMn^2+ + 8mathrmH_2mathrmO ### Core Logic Statement I is true because the reaction between oxalic acid and mathrmKMnO_4 is slow at room temperature and requires initial heating to around 60^circmathrmC. No heating is required for FAS titration. Statement II is true because mathrmMn^2+ acts as an autocatalyst. Heating FAS would cause atmospheric oxygen to prematurely oxidize mathrmFe^2+ to mathrmFe^3+, leading to experimental errors. ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Oxalic acid vs FAS titration with permanganate. Shortcut: Oxalic acid requires heat + autocatalysis. FAS titration must be kept cold to avoid aerial oxidation. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Redox Reactions

  • D. textA-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III

Solution

### Core Logic Let us evaluate each redox pair: - **A:** mathrmCH_4 + 2mathrmO_2 rightarrow mathrmCO_2 + 2mathrmH_2mathrmO involves elements combining with oxygen (combustion/combination), corresponding to **(II)**. - **B:** 2mathrmNaH rightarrow 2mathrmNa + mathrmH_2 shows a single compound breaking down into its elements, matching **(III)** Decomposition. - **C:** mathrmV_2mathrmO_5 + 5mathrmCa rightarrow 2mathrmV + 5mathrmCaO represents calcium displacing vanadium from its oxide, matching **(IV)** Displacement. - **D:** 2mathrmH_2mathrmO_2 rightarrow 2mathrmH_2mathrmO + mathrmO_2 represents oxygen in -1 state going simultaneously to -2 and 0 states, which is **(I)** Disproportionation. ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Classic classification table of redox classes. Shortcut: Identify mathrmH_2mathrmO_2 decomposition as the benchmark example of disproportionation (D-I) to immediately eliminate wrong choices. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Redox Reactions
