Firechicken18 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 This is my guess: Mn + H+ + NO3- -----> Mn2+ + NO + H2O Yeah, I'm sure there's something wrong with it. I just started RedOx today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amphibole Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 While I'm unsure about the nature of the redox reaction, the balanced stoichiometric equation between Mn and HNO3 should be something like this: 3Mn + 8HNO3 → 3Mn(NO3)2 + 2NO + 4H2O Hopefully that helps.

OldChemE Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Firechicken18--- don't forget to count atoms and charge. The number of atoms of each element have to be the same on both sides of the equation (unless, of course, you are converting matter to energy or vice versa which we don;t much do in chemical reactions). Notice how Amphibole has made sure the number of atoms on each side of each element are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
