Step-by-Step Verified Solution

2KMnO4+7+5H2C2O4+3H2SO4→2 \overset{+7}{\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}}+5 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} \rightarrow K2SO4+2MnSO4+2+10CO2+8H2O\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}+2 \overset{+2}{\mathrm{MnSO}_{4}}+10 \mathrm{CO}_{2}+8 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}

Change is oxidation state MnM n is 5.
