1.

(ii) KMnO_(4)+Na_(2)SO_(3)to MnO_(2)+Na_(2)SO_(4)+KOH (Alkaline medium).

Answer»

Solution :
Equalise the increase / decrease in O N by multiplaying Mn species by 2 and S species by 3 `2KMnO_(4)+3Na_(2)SO_(3)to 2MnO_(2)+3Na_(2)SO_(4)+KOH`
Balance all other atoms except H and O
`2KMnO_4 +3Na_(2)SO_3 to 2MnO_(2) +3Na_(2)SO_(4)+2KOH`
Balance O atoms by adding `H_2O` molecules on the SIDE falling SHORT of oxygen atom .
`2KMnO_(4)+3NaSO_(3)+H_(2)Oto 2MnO_(2)+3Na_(2)SO_(4)+2KOH` .
