Question

Consider the following reaction,\ $x \mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-}+y \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}^{2-}+z \mathrm{H}^{+} ightarrow x \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}+2 y \mathrm{CO}_{2}+\frac{z}{2} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$\ The values of $x, y$ and $z$ in the reaction are, respectively\

(d) : The balanced chemical equation is, $$ 2 \mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-}+5 \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}^{2-}+16 \mathrm{H}^{+} ightarrow 2 \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}$$$$ +10 \mathrm{CO}_{2}+8 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} $$ $	herefore \quad x=2, y=5, z=16$\
