Complete and balance the following equation.
KMnO₄ + H₂SO₄ + FeSO₄ longrightarrow ____ + ____ + ____ + ____
$\text{KMnO}_4 + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 + \text{FeSO}_4 \longrightarrow$ ____ + ____ + ____ + ____
Answer
Answer
Equation: $2\mathrm{KMnO_{4}} + 8\mathrm{H_{2}SO_{4}} + 10\mathrm{FeSO_{4}} \longrightarrow \mathrm{K_{2}SO_{4}} + 2\mathrm{MnSO_{4}} + 5\mathrm{Fe_{2}(SO_{4})_{3}} + 8\mathrm{H_{2}O}$
Purple permanganate is reduced to colourless $\mathrm{Mn^{2+}}$ while $\mathrm{Fe^{2+}}$ is oxidised to $\mathrm{Fe^{3+}}$.
