Balance the following equation by oxidation number method.MnO_(4)^(-)+Fe^(2+)rarrMn^(2+)+Fe^(3+) (acidic medium)

Balance the following equation by oxidation number method.MnO_(4)^(-)+

1.	Balance the following equation by oxidation number method.MnO_(4)^(-)+Fe^(2+)rarrMn^(2+)+Fe^(3+) (acidic medium)
Answer» Solution : To balance O and H atoms, H2O and `H^(+)` are added. `MnO_(4)^(-) + 5Fe^(2+) + 8H^(+) rarr 5Fe^(3+) + MN^(2+) + 4H_(2)O`
