    Chemistry Question about balancing a reaction

    hi, I was asked to balance this reaction : H3PO4(aq) + KMnO4(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → H3PO4(aq) + MnSO4(aq) + K2SO4(aq) + H2O(l) can I get some help? why we can't balance this reaction? and what can we say about a reaction that has the same compound as a reagent and a product? thank you
