"$$2 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}+\mathrm{bI}^{-}+\mathrm{cH}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow x \mathrm{I}_2+y \mathrm{MnO}_2+z \overline{\mathrm{O}} \mathrm{H}$$ If the above equation is balanced with integer coefficients, the value of $z$ is ________."

Question

Accepted Answer

"

Reduction Half	Oxidation Half
$2 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{MnO}_2$	$2 \mathrm{I}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{I}_2+2 \mathrm{e}^{-}$
$$2 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}+4 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+6 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{MnO}_2+8 \mathrm{OH}^{-}$$	$6 \mathrm{I}^{-} \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{I}_2+6 \mathrm{e}^{-}$

Adding oxidation half and reduction half, net reaction is

$$\begin{aligned} & 2 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}+6 \mathrm{I}^{-}+4 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{I}_2+2 \mathrm{MnO}_2+8 \mathrm{OH}^{-} \\ \Rightarrow \quad & \mathrm{z}=8 \\ \Rightarrow \quad & \text { Ans } 8 \end{aligned}$$
