Balance the following by ion electron method (acidic medium).
`Mn^(2+)+S_(2)O_(8)^(2-)rarrMnO_(4)^(ө)+HSO_(4)^(ө)`

Explanation

To balance the given redox reaction using the ion-electron method in acidic medium, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Write the unbalanced equation
The unbalanced equation is:
\[ \text{Mn}^{2+} + \text{S}_2\text{O}_8^{2-} \rightarrow \text{MnO}_4^{-} + \text{HSO}_4^{-} \]

### Step 2: Split the reaction into half-reactions
We will separate the oxidation and reduction half-reactions:
