Question

What is the balanced equation of MnO4-(aq) + Al(s) -> Mn2+(aq) + Al3+(aq) in an acidic aqueous solution?

i THINK this is suppose to be the answer: 24H+ + 5Al + 3MnO4- --> 3Mn2+ + 5Al3+ + 12H2O

is that right? im also having trouble with the phases, wat should H+ and H2O be? could someone just reqrite the quation with the phases bside them to make it clear?

PLEASE INCLUDE THE PHASES. THATS WAT I REALLY NEED.

Explanation / Answer

helpfull MnO4-(aq) + Al(s) -> Mn2+(aq) + Al3+(aq) 3(8H+ + MnO4- + 5e- --> Mn2+ + 4H2O) 5(Al --> Al3+ + 3e-) --------------------------------------… 24H+ + 5Al + 3MnO4- --> 3Mn2+ + 5Al3+ + 12H2O 2 years ago
