The balanced redox reaction, if it occurs in acidic solution, is

5C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + 2MnO₄⁻(aq) + 16H⁺-----> 10CO₂(g) + 2Mn²⁺(aq) + 8H₂O(l)

<h3>What are redox reaction?</h3>

Redox reactions are those in which loss and again of electrons occur.

To balance the redox reaction, we must first break the whole reaction into half equations;

Oxidation half equation

\rm 5C_2O4^2^-(aq) + 10e + 8H^+----- > 10CO_2(g) + 4H_2O(l)

Reduction half equation

\rm 2MnO_4^- (aq) + 10e + 8H^+----- > 2Mn^2+(aq) + 4H_2O(l)

Now combine both the reactions

\rm 5C_2O_4^2-(aq) + 2MnO4^- (aq) + 16H^+----- > 10CO_2(g) + 2Mn^2+(aq) + 8H_2O(l)

Thus, the coefficient of H₂C₂O₄ is 5 and that of water is 8.

What is the molecular geometry if you have 3 single bonds and 1 lone pair around the central atom?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

There are 2 double bond units and 1 lone pair, which will try to get as far apart as possible - taking up a trigonal planar arrangement. Because the lone pair isn't counted when you describe the shape, SO2 is described as bent or V-shaped.
