Write a balanced half-reaction for the reduction of permanganate ion (mno) to manganese ion mn? ) in acidic aqueous solution. be sure to add physical state symbols where appropriate. 0-0 cb x 5 2

Explanation:

Permanganate is general name for the chemical compound which containes manganate (VII) ion. Permanganate(VII) ion is strong oxidizing agent as  manganese is in +7 oxidation state and can be easily reduced and oxidize others.

The balanced half reaction for reduction of the permanganate ion, to manganese ion, is shown below:

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
