Error: equation K(MnO₄)+H₂O₂+H₂SO₄=K₂(SO₄)+Mn(SO₄)+O₂+H₂O can be balanced in an infinite number of ways: this is a combination of two different reactions..... Why ? K(MnO₄)+H₂O₂+H₂SO₄=K₂(SO₄)+Mn(SO₄)+O₂+H₂O
I need a better explanation. Please

It is a redox reaction.

Code: Select all

MnO4 - + 8 H+ + 5 e- => Mn 2+ + 4 H2O

Reduction

Code: Select all

H2O2 => 2 H+ + O2 + 2 e -

is the Oxidation.

Potassium and Sulfate are spectator ions and don't change.

From this two equations you should develop the main reaction.
