Answer:I would copy and past but that’s a lot of work just read it
Explanation:
The correct response would be 3. The alkaline earth metals would tend to lose its valence electrons, in this case 2 of them at different energy levels, to form the same respective ion, which is +2.
The balanced equation that shows the reaction between oxalic acid and permanganate ion in an acidic medium is: 2MnO4- + 5H2C2O4 + 6H+ -> 2Mn(2+) + 10CO2 + 8H2O. Thus, 1 mole of oxalic acid reacts with 0.4 mole of permanganate ion. This was obtained using stoichiometry:
1 mol H2C2O4 x (2 mol MnO4-/ 5 mol H2C2O4) = 0.4 mol MnO4-
In this redox reaction, the permanganate is reduced to manganese(II) ion.
