write a balanced net ionic equation for the reaction for the reaction between mno₄¹⁻ ions and h₂c₂o₄ in acid solution.

Balanced net ionic equation;

2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 5C₂O₄²⁻ → 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O + 10 CO₂

Explanation:

This is an example of a redox titration where acidified potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) is titrated against oxalic acid (H₂C₂O₄).A redox reaction is a type of reaction that involves both reduction and oxidation.One reactant of the reaction gains electrons(reduction) while another loses electrons(oxidation).During the redox reaction, H⁺/KMnO₄ undergoes reduction while the oxalic acid undergoes oxidation. Therefore, KMnO₄ is the oxidizing agent while H₂C₂O₄ is the reducing agent.The net ionic reaction will be;

2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 5C₂O₄²⁻ → 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O + 10 CO₂

From the reaction, MnO₄⁻ is reduced to 2Mn²⁺ while C₂O₄²⁻ is oxidized to CO₂. Therefore, two moles of KMnO₄ will react with 5 moles of oxalic acid.
