Question
For the redox reaction,
+ C2 + H+ → Mn2+ + CO2 + H2O
The correct coefficients of the reactants for the balanced reaction are :
Solution
The given redox reaction is not complete. However, if we assume the reaction is between permanganate ion (MnO4-), carbon (C), and hydrogen ion (H+) to form Mn2+, carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O), the balanced reaction would be:
2MnO4- + 5C + 16H+ → 2Mn2+ + 5CO2 + 8H2O
So, the correct coefficients of the reactants are 2 for MnO4-, 5 for C, and 16 for H+.
