NEET (UG) 2024 — Question 74

Match List I with List II.

List I (Conversion)List II (Number of Faraday required)
A. 1 mol of H2_2O to O2_2I. 3F
B. 1 mol of MnO4−_4^- to Mn2+^{2+}II. 2F
C. 1.5 mol of Ca from molten CaCl2_2III. 1F
D. 1 mol of FeO to Fe2_2O3_3IV. 5F

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. Option A:

    A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III

    Correct
  2. Option B:

    A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

  3. Option C:

    A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV

  4. Option D:

    A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

For A: Oxidation of water: 2 HX2O→OX2+4 HX++4 eX−\ce{2H2O -> O2 + 4H+ + 4e-}. So 4 electrons for 2 mol H2O, thus 2 F for 1 mol H2O. → A-II For B: Reduction of MnO4−: MnOX4X−+8 HX++5 eX−→MnX2++4 HX2O\ce{MnO4- + 8H+ + 5e- -> Mn^{2+} + 4H2O}. So 5 F per mol. → B-IV For C: Reduction of Ca2+: CaX2++2 eX−→Ca\ce{Ca^{2+} + 2e- -> Ca}. So 2 F per mol; for 1.5 mol, 3 F. → C-I For D: Oxidation of FeO: FeX2+→FeX3++eX−\ce{Fe^{2+} -> Fe^{3+} + e-}. So 1 F per mol FeO. → D-III Thus the correct matching is A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III, which corresponds to option A.
