Balance the following oxidation reduction reaction under acidic conditions. Show your work. MnO4− + H2SO3→ SO4 2− + Mn2+

Solutions

Expert Solution

reduction :

MnO4-   ----------------------------> Mn+2

(+7)                                            (+2)

total 5 electrons are transfered

MnO4-   +5e-   ----------------------------> Mn+2

balance oxygens :

MnO4-   + 8 H+ + 5e-    ----------------------------> Mn+2   + 4H2O              (equation 1)

oxidation :

H2SO3 -------------------------> SO4^-2

(+4)                                         (+6)

two electrons are transfered

H2SO3    + 2e- -------------------------> SO4^-2

balance oxygens

H2SO3    + H2O + 2e- -------------------------> SO4^-2   + 4H+    (equation 2)

multiply equation (1) with 2 and multiply equation (2) with 5 and than add

2MnO4-   + 16 H+ + 5H2SO3 + 5H2O ------------------> 2Mn+2 + 8H2O + 20 H+ + 5 SO4^-2  

2MnO4-     + 5H2SO3 +   ------------------> 2Mn+2 + 3H2O + 4 H+ + 5 SO4^-2
