valina [46]

Answer:

$MnCO_{3}+2H_{2}O-2e^{-}\rightarrow MnO_{2}+HCO_{3}^{-}+3H^{+}$

Explanation:

Half reaction: $MnCO_{3}\rightarrow MnO_{2}$

(1) $CO_{3}$ balance: $MnCO_{3}\rightarrow MnO_{2}+HCO_{3}^{-}$

(2)H and O balance in acidic medium: $MnCO_{3}+2H_{2}O\rightarrow MnO_{2}+HCO_{3}^{-}+3H^{+}$

(3) charge balance: $MnCO_{3}+2H_{2}O-2e^{-}\rightarrow MnO_{2}+HCO_{3}^{-}+3H^{+}$

Hence balanced half-reaction: $MnCO_{3}+2H_{2}O-2e^{-}\rightarrow MnO_{2}+HCO_{3}^{-}+3H^{+}$
