Answer:

5Fe⁺² + MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ => 5Fe⁺³ + Mn⁺² + 4H₂O

Explanation:

Fe⁺² + MnO₄⁻ +  H⁺ => Mn⁺² + Fe⁺³ +  H₂O

5(Fe⁺² => Fe⁺³ + 1e⁻)      =>                        5Fe⁺² => 5Fe⁺³ + 5e⁻

MnO₄⁻ + 5e⁻ => Mn⁺²    =>   MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e⁻ => Mn⁺² + 4H₂O

                                      =>  5Fe⁺² + MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ => 5Fe⁺³ + Mn⁺² + 4H₂O
