Question

URGENT!!! What is the balanced form of this equation?

MnO4- + H+ + H2O2 ---> Mn2+ + O2 + H+

Answer 1

Explanation: This is a reaction of oxidation of
`H_2O_2` in the presence of acidified
`KMnO_4`. Acidified
`KMnO_4` is a strong oxidizing agent.

To balance out the
`H^+` on the reactant side, we write
`H_2O` on the product side.

Balancing out the following reaction gives us:

`2MnO_4^-+6H^++5H_2O_2\rightarrow 2Mn^(2+)+8H_2O+5O_2`
