balance they following reaction under basic conditions MnO4-(aq)+S2(aq)--->MnS(s)+S(s)
MnO4-(aq)+S2(aq)--->MnS(s)+S(s)
split reactions
MnO4- = MnS
S-2 = S
balance O
MnO4- = MnS + 4H2O
S-2 = S
balance H
8H+ + MnO4- = MnS + 4H2O
S-2 = S
balance charges
7e- + 8H+ + MnO4- = MnS + 4H2O
S-2 = S + 2e-
balance e-
14e- + 16H+ + 2MnO4- = 2MnS + 8H2O
7S-2 = 7S + 14e-
add all
14e- + 16H+ + 2MnO4- + 7S-2= 2MnS + 8H2O + 7S + 14e-
cancel common terms
16H+ + 2MnO4- + 7S-2= 2MnS + 8H2O + 7S
add OH-
16OH- + 16H+ + 2MnO4- + 7S-2= 2MnS + 8H2O + 7S +16OH-
cancel H+ and OH-
16H2O + 2MnO4- + 7S-2= 2MnS + 8H2O + 7S +16OH-
cancle waters
8H2O + 2MnO4- + 7S-2= 2MnS + 7S +16OH-
