Question

Coefficients x, y and z in the following balanced equation ${xMnO^{-}_4 + y H_2S + z H^{+} -> S + Mn^{2+} + H_2O}$ are respectively

• A. 38020
• B. 40337
• C. 38753
• D. 38389

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

38753

Answer 2

the balanced equation is ${2MnO^{-}_4 + 5H_2S + 6 H^{+} -> 5 S + 2 Mn^{2+} + 8 \, H_2O }$ Thus, x = 2, y = 5, z = 6
