In a titration experiment, H2O2(aq) reacts with aqueous MnO4^1- (aq) as represented by the equation below. The dark purple KMnO4 solution is added from a buret to a colorless, acidified solution of H2O2(aq) in an Erlenmeyer flask. (Note: At the endpoint of the titration, the solution is a pale pink color.) Which element is being oxidized during the titration, and what is the element’s change in oxidation number? a.) Oxygen, which changes from -1 to 0 b.) Oxygen, which changes from 0 to -2 c.) Manganese, which changes from -1 to+2 d.) Manganese, which changes from +7 to +2
