    During a redox titration involving a solution containing \[F{{e}^{2+}}\] ions against \[MnO_{4}^{-}\] in the presence of excess of \[{{H}^{+}}\] ions, the number of electrons that gets transferred is

    A)  \[6\]                                    

    B)  \[5\]

    C)  \[4\]                                    

    D)  \[2\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\begin{align}   & MnO_{4}^{-}+8{{H}^{+}}+5{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}M{{n}^{2+}}+4{{H}_{2}}O \\  & [F{{e}^{2+}}\xrightarrow{{}}F{{e}^{3+}}+{{e}^{-}}]\times 5 \\  & \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\  & MnO_{4}^{-}+8{{H}^{+}}+5F{{e}^{2+}}\to M{{n}^{2+}}+5F{{e}^{3+}}+4{{H}_{2}}O \\  & \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ \end{align}\] \[\therefore \] Five electrons gets transferred.
