Match the redox conversions in List-I with the corresponding number of Faradays required in List-II.

List-I (Redox Conversion) A. 1 mol1\text{ mol} of H2O\text{H}_2\text{O} to O2\text{O}_2 B. 1 mol1\text{ mol} of MnO4\text{MnO}_4^- to Mn2+\text{Mn}^{2+} C. 1.5 mol1.5\text{ mol} of Ca\text{Ca} from molten CaCl2\text{CaCl}_2 D. 1 mol1\text{ mol} of FeO\text{FeO} to Fe2O3\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3

List-II (Number of Faraday required) I. 3F3\text{F} II. 2F2\text{F} III. 1F1\text{F} IV. 5F5\text{F}

A

A - III, B - IV, C - I, D - II

B

A - II, B - III, C - I, D - IV

C

A - III, B - IV, C - II, D - I

D

A - II, B - IV, C - I, D - III

Step-by-Step Solution

A. For the oxidation of 1 mol1\text{ mol} of H2O\text{H}_2\text{O} to O2\text{O}_2: H2O12O2+2H++2e\text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\text{O}_2 + 2\text{H}^+ + 2\text{e}^- 2 moles of electrons are involved, so 2 Faradays2\text{ Faradays} (2F2\text{F}) are required.

B. For the reduction of 1 mol1\text{ mol} of MnO4\text{MnO}_4^- to Mn2+\text{Mn}^{2+}: MnO4+8H++5eMn2++4H2O\text{MnO}_4^- + 8\text{H}^+ + 5\text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{Mn}^{2+} + 4\text{H}_2\text{O} 5 moles of electrons are involved, so 5 Faradays5\text{ Faradays} (5F5\text{F}) are required.

C. For the reduction of 1.5 mol1.5\text{ mol} of Ca\text{Ca} from CaCl2\text{CaCl}_2: Ca2++2eCa\text{Ca}^{2+} + 2\text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{Ca} To produce 1 mol1\text{ mol} of Ca\text{Ca}, 2F2\text{F} are required. To produce 1.5 mol1.5\text{ mol} of Ca\text{Ca}, 1.5×2 F=3 F1.5 \times 2\text{ F} = 3\text{ F} are required.

D. For the oxidation of 1 mol1\text{ mol} of FeO\text{FeO} to Fe2O3\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3: Fe2+Fe3++e\text{Fe}^{2+} \rightarrow \text{Fe}^{3+} + \text{e}^- 1 mole of electrons is involved, so 1 Faraday1\text{ Faraday} (1F1\text{F}) is required.

Therefore, the correct matching is A - II, B - IV, C - I, D - III.
