MnO4(aq) + 8H + 5Fe2+ \(\to\) Mn2+(aq) + 5Fe3+(aq) + H2O. The oxidation number of maganese in the above reaction changed from

A.

+7 to +2

B.

+6 to +2

C.

+5 to +2

D.

+4 to +2

Correct answer is A

\(MnO_{{4}{(aq)}}\) has a charge of \(-1\)

Let the oxidation number of \(Mn\) in \(MnO_{{4}{(aq)}}\) be X

Recall, the oxidation number of \(O_{2}\) is \(-2\)

\(\therefore\) \(X + (-2\times 4) = -1\)

\(X - 8 = -1\)

\(X = +7\)
