Sagot :

The oxidation number if eah of the elements is as follows;

  • Oxidation number of Mn is + 7 on the right hand side and +4 on the right hand side
  • Oxidation number if hydrogen is +1 on both sides
  • The oxidation number of oxygen is -2 on both sides
  • The oxidation number of sulfur is -2 on the lefthand side and zero on the right hand side.

What is a redox reaction?

A redox reaction is one in which there is a change in the oxidation number of the reactants from left to right.

Let us now consider the oxidation  number of each element from left to right;

  • Oxidation number of Mn is + 7 on the right hand side and +4 on the right hand side
  • Oxidation number if hydrogen is +1 on both sides
  • The oxidation number of oxygen is -2 on both sides
  • The oxidation number of sulfur is -2 on the lefthand side and zero on the right hand side.
