Write an Equation for the Oxidation in Aqueous Acidic Solution

Multiple Choice

Write an equation for the oxidation in aqueous acidic solution of Mn²⁺(aq) to MnO₄^-(aq) by XeO₃(aq) ,which is reduced to Xe(g) .

A) 6 Mn²(aq) ⁺ + 5 XeO₃(aq) → 6 MnO₄^-(aq) + 5 Xe(g)
B) 24 H₂O(l) + 6 Mn²⁺(aq) + 5 XeO₃(aq) → 6 MnO₄^-(aq) + 5 Xe(g) + 18 H⁺(aq)
C) H₂O(l) + Mn²⁺(aq) + XeO₃(aq) → MnO₄^-(aq) + Xe(g) + 2 H⁺(aq)
D) 24 H₂O(l) + 6 Mn²⁺(aq) + 5 XeO₃(aq) + 30 H⁺(aq) → 6 MnO₄^-(aq) + 5 Xe(g) + 15 H₂O + 48 H⁺(aq)
E) 9 H₂O(l) + 6 Mn²⁺(aq) + 5 XeO₃(aq) → 6 MnO₄^-(aq) + 5 Xe(g) + 18 H⁺(aq)
