Answer:

Coefficient of HSO_{3}^{-} is 5

Explanation:

Oxidation: MnO_{4}^{-}(aq)\rightarrow Mn^{2+}(aq)

  • Balance O and H in acidic medium: MnO_{4}^{-}(aq)+8H^{+}(aq)\rightarrow Mn^{2+}(aq)+4H_{2}O(l)
  • Balance charge : MnO_{4}^{-}(aq)+8H^{+}(aq)+5e^{-}\rightarrow Mn^{2+}(aq)+4H_{2}O(l) .............(1)

Reduction: HSO_{3}^{-}\rightarrow SO_{4}^{2-}

  • Balance O and H in acidic medium : HSO_{3}^{-}(aq)+H_{2}O(l)\rightarrow SO_{4}^{2-}(aq)+3H^{+}(aq)
  • Balance charge : HSO_{3}^{-}(aq)+H_{2}O(l)-2e^{-}\rightarrow SO_{4}^{2-}(aq)+3H^{+}(aq) ..............(2)

[2\times eq(1)]+[5\times eq(2)] -

Balanced equation: 2MnO_{4}^{-}(aq)+5HSO_{3}^{-}(aq)+H^{+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Mn^{2+}(aq)+5SO_{4}^{2-}(aq)+3H_{2}O(l)

Coefficient of HSO_{3}^{-} is 5
