Solution
For the redox reaction.MnO−4+C2O2−4+H+→Mn2++CO2+H2O correct coefficient of the reactants are 2, 5,16. The reduction half reaction is MnO−4+8H++5e−→Mn2++4H2O The oxidation half reaction is C2O2−4→2CO2+2e− The oxidation half reaction is multiplied with 5 and the reduction half reaction is multiplied with 2 and they are added to obtain the overall redox reaction. The balanced chemical equation is as written below. 2MnO−4+5C2O2−4+16H+→2Mn2++10CO2+8H2O
