If we compare its solubility products without any calculation then, Magnesium hydroxide is more soluble than compound A and C. Magnesium hydroxide is less soluble than compound D.

- The solubility product of magnesium hydroxide and zinc carbonate is same so it is not possible to determine whether it is more or less soluble than compound B

Permanganate ion reacts in basic solution with oxalate ion to form carbonate ion and solid manganese dioxide. Balance the skelet

saw5 [17]

Answer:

2MnO4^- (aq) + 3C2O4^2- (aq) + 2H2O (l) --> 2MnO2(s) +6CO3^2 -(aq) + 4H^+ (aq)

Explanation:

First, write the half equations for the reduction of MnO4^- and the oxidation of C2O4^2- respectively. Balance it.

Reduction requires H+ ions and e- and gives out water, vice versa for oxidation.

Reduction:

MnO4^- (aq) + 4H^+ (aq) + 3e- ---> MnO2(s) + 2H2O (l)

Oxidation:

C2O4^2- (aq) + 2H2O (l) ---> 2CO3^2 -(aq) + 4H^+ (aq) + 2e-

Balance the no. of electrons on both equations so that electrons can be eliminated. we can do so by multiplying the reduction eq by 2, and oxidation eq by 3.

2MnO4^- (aq) + 8H^+ (aq) + 6e- ---> 2MnO2(s) + 4H2O (l)

3C2O4^2- (aq) + 6H2O (l) ---> 6CO3^2 -(aq) + 12H^+ (aq) + 6e-

Now combine both equations and eliminate repeating H+ and H2O.

2MnO4^- (aq) + 8H^+ (aq) + 3C2O4^2- (aq) + 6H2O (l) --> 2MnO2(s) + 4H2O (l) +6CO3^2 -(aq) + 12H^+ (aq)

turns into:

2MnO4^- (aq) + 3C2O4^2- (aq) + 2H2O (l) --> 2MnO2(s) +6CO3^2 -(aq) + 4H^+ (aq)
