What is the reduction half-reaction for the equation below? 5Fe2+(aq) + MnO4" (aq) + 8H+(aq) → 5Fe3+ (aq) + Mn2+(aq) +
4H2O(1)

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since redox reactions are characterized by the presence of a reduction reaction, whereby the oxidation of the element decreases, and an oxidation reaction whereby the oxidation of the element increases.

In such a way, for the given chemical equation, we can see Fe is increasing its oxidation state from 2+ to 3+, which means it is oxidized. On the flip side, Mn is being reduced from 7+ (MnO₄⁻) to 2+ and this, the reduction half-reaction is:

Whereas five electrons are carried.

i just got this problem. it's 90.3

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).
