Question

answer d

/ Consider the unbalanced reaction below, which occurs in an acidic aqueous
solution.
MnO4 + 1 Ⓡ1₂ + Mn²+
a. Identify the half-reactions (oxidation, reduction) __
b. Balance the reduction equation
c. Balance the oxidation equation
d. Balance the overall equation

Expert Solution

Step 1

To balance the given reaction following steps must be followed-

Divide the given reaction into two half cell reactions
Balance the atoms other than H and O
Balance the oxygen by adding H₂O to the oxygen deficient side
Balance the H by adding H⁺ to the hydrogen deficient side. To balance the hydrogen add OH^-.
Balance the electron on both sides
Write the complete reaction by adding both the half-cell reactions.
