Title: Oxidation Reactions
Post by: sokhootemonkie on October 17, 2004, 05:20:42 PM

The reaction between H2O2 AND MnO4 results with Mn2+ and O2 but what happens to the Hydrogen? IS there water in this reaction? Can anyone please help me write a balanced chemical equation?

2KMnO4 + 5H2O2 + 3H2SO4 = K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 5O2(g) + 8H2O

KMnO4 is not soluble in most organic solvents, so you usually need some water.
