In which of the following changes there is a transfer of two electrons?

Correct answer: A. MnO2-4→ MnO2

  • A. MnO2-4→ MnO2
  • B. MnO-4→ Mn+2
  • C. CrO2-4→ Cr+3
  • D. Cr2O2-7 → 2Cr+3

Explanation

A. MnO2-4→ MnO2 oxidation number of Mn in MnO4-2 is +6 and in MnO2 is +4. Hence there is transfer of two electrons.B. MnO-4→ Mn+2Oxidation number of Mn in MnO4- is +7 and in Mn2+ is +2. Hence there is transfer of 5 electrons. C. CrO2-4→ Cr+3Oxidation number of Cr in CrO42- is +6 and in Cr+3 is +3. Hence there is transfer of 3 electrons. D. Cr2O2-7 → 2Cr+3Oxidation number of chromium in Cr2O72- is +6 and in Cr3+ is +3. Hence there is transfer of 3 electrons.

About Electrochemistry

Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
