| MnO4-(aq) + H2O2(aq) |  |
MnO2(s) + O2(g) |
Practice Problem 6
Write a balanced equation for the reaction between the permanganate ion and hydrogen peroxide in a basic solution to form manganese dioxide and oxygen.
| MnO4-(aq) + H2O2(aq) | |
MnO2(s) + O2(g) |
Answer
2 MnO4-(aq) + 3 H2O2(aq)
2 MnO2(s) + 3 O2(g)
+ 2 OH-(aq) + 2 H2O(l)
