Detailed Solution

The reaction of acidified KMnO4 with FeSO4 produces MnSO4, K2SO4 and Fe2SO42. In this reaction manganese undergo reduction whereas iron undergo oxidation

2KMnO4+10FeSO4+8H2SO4K2SO4+2MnSO4+5Fe2SO43+8H2O

Manganese oxidation state changes from +7 (reactant) to +2 (product). The total number of electrons involved in the reaction are +5
