Detailed Solution

a KMnO₄ + bH₂SO₄ + cFeSO₄ → K₂SO₄ + MnSO₄ + Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂O converting this equation to ionic equation (K⁺,SO₄^-2 are spectator ions) spectator ions due to undergo met chemical change during the process

$large left. {begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {RHR} \ {MnO_4^ - ; to ;M{n^{ + 2}}} \ {Balancing;'O';atom} \ {MnO_4^ - ; to ;M{n^{ + 2}}; + ;4{H_2}O} \ {Balancing;'H';atom;in;acidic;medium} \ {MnO_4^ - ; + ;8{H^ + }; to ;M{n^{ + 2}}; + ;4{H_2}O} \ {Balancing;charg es} \ {MnO_4^ - ; + ;8{H^ + }; + ;5bar e; to ;M{n^{ + 2}}; + ;4{H_2}O} end{array}} right|begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {OHR} \ {F{e^{ + 2}}; to ;F{e^{ + 3}}} \ {Balancing;charg es} \ {F{e^{ + 2}}; to ;F{e^{ + 3}}; + ;bar e} \ end{array}$
