Question

URGENT!!! What is the balanced form of this equation?

Answer 1

Explanation: This is a reaction of oxidation of $H_2O_2$ in the presence of acidified $KMnO_4$. Acidified $KMnO_4$ is a strong oxidizing agent.

To balance out the $H^+$ on the reactant side, we write $H_2O$ on the product side.

Balancing out the following reaction gives us:

$2MnO_4^-+6H^++5H_2O_2\rightarrow 2Mn^{2+}+8H_2O+5O_2$
