Write a balanced half-reaction for the reduction of permanganate ion to manganese ion in acidic aqueous solution. be sure to add physical state symbols where appropriate.

Respuesta :

The balanced half reaction for reduction of the permanganate ion,  to manganese ion,  is shown below:

[tex]MnO_{4^{-} }[/tex] + 8[tex]H^{+}[/tex] + 5e- → [tex]Mn^{2+}[/tex] +  [tex]H_{2} O[/tex]

What is half reaction?

The portion of an overall reaction that represents either an oxidation or a reduction separately is known as a half-reaction.

A redox reaction can only be fully described by two half-reactions, one oxidation and one reduction.

The chemical compound that contains the manganate (VII) ion is known as permanganate. Because manganese is in the +7 oxidation state and is rapidly reduced and oxidised by other elements, the permanganate(VII) ion is a potent oxidising agent.
