Answer:
Mn is the oxidizing agent.
N is the reducing agent.
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, according to the undergoing chemical reaction, it is seen that the manganese in KMnO4 has an oxidation state of 7+, in MnSO4 of 2+ and nitrogen in KNO2 is 3+ and in KNO3 is 5+; thus we have the following half-reactions:

Thus, since manganese is undergoing a decrease in the oxidation state, we infer it is the oxidizing agent whereas nitrogen, undergoing an increase in the oxidation state is the reducing agent.

Answer:
About 5 times faster.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since the Arrhenius equation is considered for both the catalyzed reaction (1) and the uncatalized reaction (2), one determines the relationship between them as follows:

By replacing the corresponding values we obtain:

Such result means that the catalyzed reaction is about five times faster than the uncatalyzed reaction.
Best regards.
The reactants are the substances on the left side, which react and give the products on the right side.
The reactants are Fe and O.
The product is Fe2O3.
The arrow to the right means that the reaction is going in only one direction — the only reaction happening at the moment is that Fe and O are making Fe2O3.
(s) means the substance is in the solid state, and (g) means in a gaseous state (or the substance is a gas in that reaction).
