Answer :
The balanced skeleton reactions are given below
3Fe(OH)₂(s) + 2MnO₄⁻(aq) + [tex]H_{2} O[/tex](l) → 2MnO₂(s) +3 Fe(OH)₃(s) + 2[tex]OH^{-}[/tex](aq)
The oxidizing agent and reducing agents are Mn and Fe .
There are following steps involve in balance redox reaction in basic medium .
- Divide the reaction into two half reactions .
- Balance the elements other than oxygen and hydrogen .
- Balance the oxygen atom by adding [tex]H_{2} O[/tex] .
- Balance the hydrogen atom by adding [tex]H^{+}[/tex] .
- Add [tex]OH^{-}[/tex] ions to both sides to neutralize [tex]H^{+}[/tex]
- Combine [tex]OH^{-}[/tex] and [tex]H^{+}[/tex] to make [tex]H_{2} O[/tex] .
- Balance the charge by adding [tex]e^{-}[/tex] .
- Add the half reaction and simply .
The species which reduces the other species in the redox reaction is called oxidizing agent . Similarly , the species which oxidize the other species in the redox reaction is called reducing agent .
