Answer:

MnCO3 + 2H2O ⇄ MnO2  + HCO3-  + 2e- +3H+

Explanation:

<u>The</u> unbalanced equation

MnCO3 ⇄ MnO2  + HCO3-

In MnCO3, the oxidation number of Mn is +2

In Mno2, the oxidation number of Mn is +4

The change from +2 to +4 requires an addition of  2 electrons (to the right side).

MnCO3 ⇄ MnO2  + HCO3-  + 2e-

The total charge now is -3 on the right side. To balance this we add 3 hydrogen atoms on the right side.

MnCO3 ⇄ MnO2  + HCO3-  + 2e- +3H+

On the right side we have 4 hydrogen atoms in total. On the left side we have 0 hydrogen atoms. So to balance, we have to add 2H2O on the left side

MnCO3 + 2H2O ⇄ MnO2  + HCO3-  + 2e- +3H+

Now the reaction is balanced.
