2 HCl (aq) + 2 KMnO4 (aq) + 3 K2SO3 (aq) → H2O (l) + 3 K2SO4 (aq) + 2 KCl (aq) + 2 MnO2 (s)
2 HCl (aq) + 2 KMnO4 (aq) + 3 K2SO3 (aq) → H2O (l) + 3 K2SO4 (aq) + 2 KCl (aq) + 2 MnO2 (s)
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:
2 MnVII + 6 e– → 2 MnIV (reduction)
3 SIV – 6 e– → 3 SVI (oxidation)
KMnO4 is an oxidizing agent, K2SO3 is a reducing agent.
This is a precipitation reaction: MnO2 is the formed precipitate.
