  1. The following unbalanced spontaneous electrochemical reaction occurs in acidic solution:

    MnO4  +   C2O42-   -------->   Mn2+    +   CO2

    Which of the following is the balanced equation?

       

     2 MnO4  +   C2O42-   -------->   2 Mn2+    +   2 CO2

       

    40 H+   +  5  MnO4  +  2 C2O42-   -------->   5 Mn2+    +  4 CO2  +  20 H2O

       

    H2C2O4   +   KMnO4   -------->   2 CO2  +    Mn(OH)2   +  KO2  

       

    2 MnO4  +   5 C2O42-   +   16 H-------->   8 H2O   +   2 Mn2+    +   10 CO2
