Question

write out the balanced ion electron equation for 
MnO4- (aq)  →   Mn2+ (aq)

Marilyn Bob-Manuel 3ekt · Accepted Answer

Balance any oxygen atoms with water molecules
MnO4- (aq)	→     Mn2+ (aq) +    4H2O (l)

Balance any H atoms with H+(aq) ions
MnO4- (aq)  +   8H+ (aq) 	→     Mn2+ (aq) +     4H2O (l)

Balance the charges with electrons
MnO4- (aq)  +   8H+ (aq) + 5e-  →   Mn2+ (aq) + 4H2O (l)

Write out the balanced ion electron equation for MnO4- (aq) → Mn2+ (aq)
