Potassium permanganate, KMnO4, is a powerful oxidizing agent.The products of a given redox reaction with the permanganate iondepend on the reaction conditions used. In basic solution, thefollowing equation represents the reaction of this ion with asolution containing sodium cyanide:
MnO4-(aq)+ CN-(aq)} = MnO2(s)+ CNO-(aq)
Since this reaction takes place in basic solution, H_2O(l) andOH^-(aq) will be shown in the reaction. Places for these speciesare indicated by the blanks in the following restatement of theequation:
MnO4-(aq)+ CN^-(aq)+______ = MnO2(s)+ CNO-(aq)+________
What are the coefficients of the reactants and products in thebalanced equation above? Remember to include H2O(l) and OH^-(aq) inthe blanks where appropriate.
Enter the equationcoefficients in order separated by commas (e.g.,2,2,1,4,4,3).
