Problem

Determine whether charge is conserved in the following equation written for an acidic solution. State “YES” if the total charge is equal on both sides; otherwise state “NO” and give the net charge difference (magnitude and which side is more positive). MnO4−+8 H++5 Fe2+  →  Mn2++5 Fe3++4 H2O\mathrm{MnO_4^- + 8\,H^+ + 5\,Fe^{2+} \;\rightarrow\; Mn^{2+} + 5\,Fe^{3+} + 4\,H_2O}
