Hello students, the chemical reaction given is kmno4 reacting with hcl to produce mncl2, cl2, h2o and kcl.
00:12
First, finding out the oxidation state of each ion.
00:18
In reactant kmno4, potassium has a plus 1 charge, oxygen have minus 2 charge, the oxidation state of mn is plus 7.
00:33
In case of hcl, the oxidation state of h is plus 1 and for cl, minus 1.
00:39
The oxidation state of cl in mncl2 is minus 1 and for mn, plus 2.
00:47
The oxidation state of cl2 is 0.
00:51
In h2o, oxygen is minus 2 and hydrogen is plus 1...
