I've spent a very.. very long time trying this question now, could anyone help? ^__^;; it's hurting my eyes lol.

 

Is there any other way to finish these questions? There are quite a lot but this one is hard...

10K4Fe(CN)6 + 122KMnO4 + 299H2SO4 ---> 162KHSO4 + 5Fe2(SO4)3 + 122MnSO4 + 60HNO3 + 60CO2 + 188H2O

 

 

It's not hard, just time consuming. Took me about 5 minutes.

is there an easier way to do it? cuz.. ive been trying to figure it out through guess and test.. over.. and over.. and over.. and over, there are like a thousand stops before i can get that answer O_O

 

btw.. TY SO MUCH ^_^

Basically you just look for elements other than H and O and balance those first, then work from there to balance out the whole thing. The particular equation you gave was needlessly complex and you had to keep multiplying reagents and products with K and Mn to get the right proporations of everything... you'll be able to do it faster the more you practice.
