Question

For a particular redox reaction MnO2 is oxidized to MnO4– and Cu2 is reduced to Cu . Complete and balance the equation for this reaction in basic solution. Phases are optional.

Answer 1

turn each agent into a half-reaction by itself:\[MnO_2 \rightarrow MnO_4^{-1}\] and\[Cu^{+2} \rightarrow Cu^0\]balance each half-reaction, then add them back together again
