Question

Identify the oxidizing and reducing agents in the skeletal (unbalanced) reaction. Then, balance the reaction, including the phase (solid, liquid, etc. ) of each species. The reaction takes place in basic aqueous solution. Mno−4(aq)+s2−(aq)⟶s(s)+mno2(s).

Answer 1

The oxidizing and reducing agents I'm the reaction are MnO⁴- and S²- respectively

Balancing Redox reactions

Redox reactions can be identified as reduction or oxidation by means of the change in oxidation number.

On this note, the oxidizing agent is the reactant which is reduced in the reaction and hence is, MnO⁴-.

The reducing agent is the reactant which is oxidized in the reaction and hence is, S²-.

The balance reaction is therefore;

• Mno−4(aq)+s2−(aq)⟶s(s)+mno2(s) + 6e-
