All 8 JEE Main 2026 Redox Reactions questions in the free PDF, latest shift first.
JEE Main 2026 · 6 Apr · Shift 2 · Applications of Redox
500 mL of 0.2MMnO4−solution in basic medium when mixed with 500 mL of 1.5 M KI solution, oxidises iodide ions to liberate molecular iodine. This liberated iodine is then titrated with a standard xM thiosulphate solution in presence of starch till the end point. If 300 mL of thiosulphate was consumed, then the value of x is ____。
JEE Main 2026 · 2 Apr · Shift 1 · Types of Redox Reactions
Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Oxidising power of halogens decreases in the order F2>Cl2>Br2>I2, which is the basis of "Layer test".
Statement (II): "Layer test" to identify Br2 and I2 in aqueous solution involves the oxidation of bromide or iodide into Br2 or I2 respectively with Cl2, which is a type of displacement redox reaction.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
JEE Main 2026 · 28 Jan · Shift 1 · Applications of Redox
500 mL of 1.2 M KI solution is mixed with 500 mL of 0.2MKMnO4 solution in basic medium. The liberated iodine was titrated with standard 0.1MNa2S2O3 solution in the presence of starch indicator till the blue color disappeared. The volume (in L ) of Na2S2O3 consumed is ____ . (Nearest integer)
JEE Main 2026 · 24 Jan · Shift 1 · Oxidation and Reduction
X and Y are the number of electrons involved, respectively during the oxidation of I−to I2 and S2− to S by acidified K2Cr2O7. The value of X+Y is ____ .
JEE Main 2026 · 24 Jan · Shift 2 · Types of Redox Reactions

JEE Main 2024 · 9 Apr · Shift 1 · Oxidation Number
Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : The oxidation state of an element in a particular compound is the charge acquired by its atom on the basis of electron gain enthalpy consideration from other atoms in the molecule.
Statement (II) : pπ−pπ bond formation is more prevalent in second period elements over other periods.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
(A)Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
(B)Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
(C)Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
(D)Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
