For the reactions of 1 mol of HX2OX2, select the correct statement(s).
AWith acidified KMnOX4 it acts as a reductant and releases 1 mol OX2
BWith acidified KI it acts as an oxidant and liberates 1 mol IX2
CIt consumes 0.4 mol of KMnOX4 in acidic medium
DIts n-factor in 2HX2OX22HX2O+OX2 is 2
Answer: A, B, C
HX2OX2OX2+2HX++2eX−, so A is true; moles KMnOX4=2/5=0.4, so C is true. HX2OX2+2IX−+2HX+IX2+2HX2O gives 1 mol IX2, so B is true. In the disproportionation 2 mol HX2OX2 exchange 2 electrons, so n=1 per HX2OX2, making D false.
