Answer:
Answer:
step 1:balance skeleton equation the chemical equation:
KMnO4+H2SO4+H2S➔K2SO4+MnSO4+H2O+S
step 2: identity undergoing oxidation or reduction
here
KMnO4➔MnSO4
Mn is reduced from 7 to 2 in oxidation no.
H2S➔S
S is oxidized from -2 to 0 in oxidation no
Step 3: calculate change in oxidation no.
change in oxidation no
in Mn=2-7=-5=5
in
S=0--2=2
Step 4: Balance it by doing crisscrossed multiplication
we get;
2KMnO4+H2SO4+5H2S➔K2SO4+2MnSO4+H20+5S
step 6:Balance other atoms except H & O
2KMnO4+3H2SO4+5H2S➔K2SO4+2MnSO4+H20+5S
finally: balance H
2KMnO4+3H2SO4+5H2S➔K2SO4+2MnSO4+8H20+5S
