Products of KMnO4 + FeSO4 + H2SO4?
« on: July 02, 2014, 11:10:12 AM »
I know the answer is KMnO4 + FeSO4 + H2SO4 --> Fe2(SO4)3 + MnS04 + K2SO4 + H20 and I know how to balance it afterwards, but if you're only given the reactants, KMnO4 + FeSO4 + H2SO4, how would you go about finding the products of this reaction?

You have to have some knowledge or to learn it. Permanganate is an oxidiser. Itself it will be reduced to Mn2+ in acidic conditions, what you have here by adding sulfuric acid. Iron-II is easily oxydised to Iron -III.

You have to develop the redox reaction.

Can you do this?
