Question

Given the following redox reaction: H2C2O4 (aq) + MnO4-(aq) ---> CO2 (g) + Mn2+(aq) (1 pt) Indicate the oxidation states of each atom on the reactants and products side by writing them below each atom in the reaction above. (Hint: The polyatomic ion, oxalate (C2O42-), has a total charge of -2.), determine which species is oxidized and which is reduced? Which is the oxidizing agent and which is the reducing agent? Then balance the redox reaction in an acidic solution.

          Given the following redox reaction:
H2C2O4 (aq) + MnO4-(aq) ---> CO2 (g) +
Mn2+(aq)
(1 pt) Indicate the oxidation states of each
atom on the reactants and products side by writing them below
each atom in the reaction above. (Hint: The polyatomic ion, oxalate
(C2O42-), has a total charge of -2.), determine which species
is oxidized and which is reduced? Which is
the oxidizing agent and which is the reducing agent?
Then balance the redox reaction in an acidic solution.
