Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The reaction Al(s)+MnO4(aq)MnO2(s)+Al(OH)4(aq) occurring in basic medium by using half reaction method is to be balanced.

Concept introduction:The redox reactions are associated with the change in oxidation number of the interacting elements. These reactions are balanced by using half reaction method. The half reaction method is used either in acidic or basic medium. This method works better when the interacting species are present in aqueous medium.
