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

Redox Reactions

Solution:

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