Consider the following reaction: MnO4−(aq)+8H+(aq)+5Fe2+(aq)→Mn2+(aq)+5Fe3+(aq)+4H2O(l)\mathrm{MnO}_4^-(\mathrm{aq})+8\mathrm{H}^+(\mathrm{aq})+5\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq})\rightarrow\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq})+5\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}(\mathrm{aq})+4\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l}) Which statement is correct? (1) MnO4−\mathrm{MnO}_4^- is the oxidizing agent and it loses electrons. (2) MnO4−\mathrm{MnO}_4^- is the reducing agent and it loses electrons. (3) MnO4−\mathrm{MnO}_4^- is the oxidizing agent and it gains electrons. (4) MnO4−\mathrm{MnO}_4^- is the reducing agent and it gains electrons.
