Important Redox Reactions Questions from NEET Previous Papers

Q 11 :
For the redox reaction,

${MnO}_{4}^{-} + C_{2} O_{4}^{2 -} + H^{+} ⟶ {Mn}^{2 +} + {CO}_{2} + H_{2} O$

The correct coefficients of the reactants for the balanced equation are: [2018]

${MnO}_{4}^{-} - 16,$ $C_{2} O_{4}^{2 -} - 5,$ $H^{+} - 2$
${MnO}_{4}^{-} - 2,$ $C_{2} O_{4}^{2 -} - 5,$ $H^{+} - 16$
${MnO}_{4}^{-} - 2,$ $C_{2} O_{4}^{2 -} - 16,$ $H^{+} - 5$
${MnO}_{4}^{-} - 5,$ $C_{2} O_{4}^{2 -} - 16,$ $H^{+} - 2$

The correct balanced equation is

$2 {MnO}_{4}^{-} + 5 C_{2} O_{4}^{2 -} + 16 H^{+} \to 2 {Mn}^{2 +} + 10 {CO}_{2} + 8 H_{2} O$

Q 12 :
Hot concentrated sulphuric acid is a moderately strong oxidizing agent. Which of the following reactions does not show oxidizing behaviour? [2016]

$Cu + 2 H_{2} {SO}_{4} ⟶ {CuSO}_{4} + {SO}_{2} + 2 H_{2} O$
$S + 2 H_{2} {SO}_{4} ⟶ 3 {SO}_{2} + 2 H_{2} O$
$C + 2 H_{2} {SO}_{4} ⟶ {CO}_{2} + 2 {SO}_{2} + 2 H_{2} O$
${CaF}_{2} + H_{2} {SO}_{4} ⟶ {CaSO}_{4} + 2 HF$

${CaF}_{2} + H_{2} {SO}_{4} \to {CaSO}_{4} + 2 HF$

Here, the oxidation state of every atom remains the same, so it is not a redox reaction.

Q 13 :
(I) $H_{2} O_{2} + O_{3} ⟶ H_{2} O + 2 O_{2}$

(II) $H_{2} O_{2} + {Ag}_{2} O ⟶ 2 Ag + H_{2} O + O_{2}$

Role of hydrogen peroxide in the above reactions is respectively [2014]

oxidizing in (I) and reducing in (II)
reducing in (I) and oxidizing in (II)
reducing in (I) and (II)
oxidizing in (I) and (II)

$H_{2} O_{2}$ acts as reducing agent in both the reactions in which $O_{2}$ is evolved.

Q 14 :

${FeCl}_{3}, {SnCl}_{2}$
${HgCl}_{2}, {SnCl}_{2}$
${FeCl}_{2}, {SnCl}_{2}$
