JEE Advanced levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 3 of 3rx091

For the reaction , select ALL correct statements.

  1. A acts as the reducing agent
  2. B10 electrons are transferred in the equation as written
  3. C6 are consumed per 2 reduced
  4. DThe oxygen atoms of the produced come from

Answer: A, B, C

Mn goes +7 to +2 (5 electrons each, 10 for two) and O goes -1 to 0 in (2 electrons per molecule, 10 for five), so statements 1 and 2 hold. The equation shows 6 consumed. The comes entirely from (the peroxide O-O bond is not broken), so statement 4 is false.
