Q1: H2S( 5 moles) reacts completely with acidified aqueous potassium permanganate solution. In this reaction, the number of moles of water produced is x, and the number of moles of electrons involved is y. The value of (x + y) is ________.            [JEE Advanced 2023 Paper 2]
Ans: 
18
We start with the balanced redox reaction :
2KMnO4 + 3H2SO4 + 5H2S → K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 5S + 8H2O
We want to find out the number of moles of water (x) produced and the number of moles of electrons (y) involved in this reaction.
From the balanced equation, we can see that 8 moles of water are produced from the reaction. So, we can say :
x = 8
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gets oxidized to sulfur (S) in this reaction. Each molecule of H2S loses 2 electrons during this process (as sulfur has an oxidation state of -2 in H2S and 0 in S).
So, for every mole of H2S, 2 moles of electrons are involved. And since 5 moles of H2S are reacting, the total number of moles of electrons involved is 5 × 2 = 10. So, we can say :
y = 10
We are asked to find the sum of x and y, so we add these two values together to get:
x + y = 8 + 10=18
Therefore, the value of (x + y) is 18.
