The purpose of this experiment is to study the various oxidation states of the permanganate ion (MnO4-) that are formed by redox reaction, in which either oxidation or reduction will occur. I will use a reducing agent called sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3). The oxidation state for sulfur in sodium bisulfite is +4. Sodium bisulfite will function as a reducing agent

The purpose of this experiment is to study the various oxidation states of the permanganate ion (MnO4-) that are formed by redox reaction, in which either oxidation or reduction will occur. I will use a reducing agent called sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3). The oxidation state for sulfur in sodium bisulfite is +4. Sodium bisulfite will function as a reducing agent and the oxidation state of the sulfur will increase from +4 to +6. The redox reaction will carry through in acidic, basic, and neutral aqueous solutions. For acids, bisulfate (HSO3-) ion is the oxidation product and sulfite ion (SO3-2) in neutral or basic conditions is produced. In this experiment the various oxidation states that are formed by the redox reaction of permanganate ion, MnO4-and the bisulfite ion, HSO4- have been studied. The reducing agent that was used was sodium bisulfate, NaHSO3. The redox reaction was studied in acidic, basic and neutral aqueous solutions. In the acidic solution the oxidation state of manganese was +2,and the oxidation state of sulfur was +6, in neutral solution the oxidation state of manganese was +3 and the oxidation state of sulfur was +6, and in basic solution the oxidation state of manganese was +6 and the oxidation state of sulfur was +6.
