Question

Write the balanced net ionic equation for the reaction that takes place between potassium permanganate and hydrogen peroxide in an acidic solution

Answer 1

H2O2(aq) ==> 2 H+(aq) + 2 e- + O2(g) [x5]
MnO4-(aq) + 8 H+(aq) + 5 e- ==>Mn++(aq) + 4 H2O(l) [x2]

6 H+(aq) + 5 H2O2(aq) + 2 MnO4-(aq) ==> 2 Mn++(aq) + 5 O2(g) + 8 H2O(l)
