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
Reduction half equation
Now combine both the reactions
Thus, the coefficient of H₂C₂O₄ is 5 and that of water is 8.
