Question

write the ionic equation of the reaction of potassium permanganate with hydrochloric acid

Answer 1

I know the molecular equation is \[2KMnO_{4}+16HCl \rightarrow 2MnCl_{2}+2KCl+5Cl_{2}+8H_{2}O\]

Answer 2

My question is a little bit more specific. Is the ionic equation written like this \[K^+ + MnO_{4}^- +2H^++Cl^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{+2}+Cl^{-}+K^{+}+Cl^{-}+Cl_{2}+H_{2}O\] or like this \[K^+ + MnO_{4}^- +2H^++Cl^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{+2}+2Cl^{-}+K^{+}+Cl_{2}+H_{2}O\]
