The amount of manganese in steel is determined by changing it to permanganate ion. The steel is first dissolved in nitric acid, producing Mn2+ ions. These ions are then oxidized to the deeply colored MnO4- ions by periodate ion (I04-) in acid solution. (a) Complete and balance an equation describing each of the above reactions. (Type your answer using the format CO2 for CO2, (NH4)2CO3 for (NH4)2CO3, [NH4]+ for NH4+, and [Ni(CN)4]2- for Ni(CN)42-. Use the lowest possible coefficients.) Equation 1: Mn(s) + 2H+(aq) + 34(aq) ------> 5MN2+(aq) + 67(g) + 89() Equation 2: 11(aq) + 12MN2+(aq) + 1314() --- ---> 1516(aq) + 17MN04-(aq) + 18H+(aq) (b) Calculate E The amount of manganese in steel is determined by changing it to permanganate ion.
