You do not need a completely balanced reaction when you begin. Just write out the reactant specles given > product species given. The H and O will balance once you add your H20 and H+ in the balancing process Your text book p. 177 (4th ed. Tro) shows the hierarchy of assigning oxidation states, most of these are intuitive based on our knowledge of all I ions form + 1 lons and so on even make the list so when looking to assign oxidation numbers of a compound with C and O, Assign 02- and then whatever C must be. However, it is useful to note that the precedence of oxidation states of 02-C where C? does not

Explanation / Answer

Fe+2(aq) + MnO4-(aq) -------------- Fe+3(aq) + Mn+2(aq)

The balanced equation is

5 Fe+2(aq) + MnO4-(aq) + 8 H+(aq) -------------- 5 Fe+3(aq) + Mn+2(aq) + 4 H2O(l)

5 mole            1 mole

         Fe+2                                             MnO4-

M1=                                          M2 = 0.0550M

V1= 30.0ml                                V2= 35.0ml

n1= 5 mole                                 n2= 1 mole    ( number of moles are getting from the balanced equation)

      M1V1/n1= M2V2/n2

M1x30.0/5 = 0.0550x35.0/1

M1 = 0.3208M

Molarity of Fe+2 ion = 0.321M
