When the following equation is balanced in an acidic solution how many electrons are transferred?
MnO4- + H2SO3 --> SO42- + Mn2+
Reduction Half Reaction Balance Equation
Oxidation Half Reaction
Now to cancel the electrons we need to multiply the first equation by 2 and second equation by 5
Hence the number of electrons transferred = 5 * 2 = 10 electrons in an balanced equation
