Question
How much charge is required for the following reduction?
1 mol of \[\ce{MnO^-_4}\] to Mn2+.
Advertisements
Solution
The given reaction is:
\[\ce{\underset{(1 mol)}{MnO^-_4} + 8H^+ + \underset{(5 mol)}{5e^-} -> Mn^{2+} + 4H2O}\]
∴ 5 mole electrons are needed for the reduction of 1 mole of \[\ce{MnO^-_4}\] to Mn2+.
∴ 5 mole electrons = 5 Faradays
= 5 × 96500 C
= 4.825 × 105 C
