The amount of manganese in steel is determined by changing it to permanganate ion. the steel is first dissolved in nitric acid, producing mn2+ ions. these ions are then oxidized to the deeply colored mno4- ions by periodate ion (io4-) in acid solution. (a) complete and balance an equation describing each of the above reactions. (type your answer using the format co2 for co2, (nh4)2co3 for (nh4)2co3, [nh4]+ for nh4+, and [ni(cn)4]2- for ni(cn)42-. use the lowest possible coefficients.) equation 1
