    \[F{{e}^{2+}}\xrightarrow{{}}F{{e}^{3+}}+{{e}^{-}}\]\[MnO_{4}^{-}+5{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}M{{n}^{2+}}\]the ratio of stoichiometric coefficient of \[F{{e}^{2+}}\] and \[MnO_{4}^{-}\]is

    A)  1 : 5           

    B)  5 : 1

    C)  2 : 3           

    D)  6 : 1

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[F{{e}^{2+}}\xrightarrow{{}}F{{e}^{3+}}+{{e}^{-}}\]    (Oxidation) ... (i) \[MnO_{4}^{-}+5{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}M{{n}^{2+}}\] (Reduction) ... (ii) Eq (i) is multiply by 5 \[5F{{e}^{2+}}\xrightarrow{{}}5F{{e}^{3+}}+5{{e}^{-}}\] Then, balanced equation is \[5F{{e}^{2+}}\xrightarrow{{}}MnO_{4}^{-}\xrightarrow{{}}5F{{e}^{3+}}+M{{n}^{2+}}\] Thus, the ratio of stoichiometric coefficient of \[F{{e}^{2+}}\] and \[MnO_{4}^{-}\] is \[5:1\].
