Question
Which of the following represents the correct oxidation half-equation from the redox reaction between permanganate and iron(II) ions?
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Oxidation involves loss of electrons. Iron(II) is oxidized to iron(III): Fe²⁺ → Fe³⁺ + e⁻. Options A and C are reduction half-reactions; B is reduction of Fe³⁺.
Hint
Oxidation half-equation shows electrons on the product side.
