1.	In the reaction of oxalate with permanganate in acidic medium, the number of electrons involved in producing one molecule of CO_(2) is ___
Answer» 10 1 5 2 Solution :`2MnO_(4)^(-)+5C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)+16H^(+)to2Mn^(2+)+10CO_(2)+8H_(2)O` `therefore5C_(2)O_(4)^(-2)to10CO_(2)+10bare` Total 10 ELECTRONS for 10 `CO_(2)` molecules so 1 ELECTRON per `CO_(2)` MOLECULE.
