Q
Q: In the context of redox reactions, what happens to the oxidation state of manganese in the reaction MnO4- + 8H+ + 5e- → Mn2+ + 4H2O?
Solution:
The oxidation state of manganese decreases from +7 in MnO4- to +2 in Mn2+.
Steps: 4
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the oxidation state of manganese in MnO4-. Manganese (Mn) has an oxidation state of +7 in this compound.
Step 2: Identify the oxidation state of manganese in Mn2+. In this compound, manganese has an oxidation state of +2.
Step 3: Compare the oxidation states. The oxidation state changes from +7 in MnO4- to +2 in Mn2+.
Step 4: Determine the change in oxidation state. The oxidation state decreases from +7 to +2, which is a decrease of 5.
