Could somebody help me with a Chemistry question?

What is the balanced equation for this redox reaction, Fe2+ + MnO4- → Fe3+ + Mn2+, which takes place in acidic solution?

1) 5Fe++ + H+ + MnO4- → 5Fe+++ + Mn++ + H2O
2) 5Fe++ + MnO4- + 4H2O → 5Fe+++ + Mn++ + 8OH-
3) Fe++ + 8H+ + MnO4- → 5Fe+++ + Mn++ + 4H2O
4) Fe++ + MnO4- → Fe+++ + Mn++
5) 3Fe++ + MnO4- → Fe+++ + Mn++

Answer:
Fe+2 --> Fe+3 + e- * 5

MnO4-4 +8H+ + 5e- --> Mn+2 + 4H2O

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

It looks like answer 3 except you miscopied it it should have a 5 in front of the Fe++ right?
hahaha
i just finished all that ** in chem, thank god, sry im not about to do your homework for you, just count how many of each element you have on each side of the equation and blance each side out, not too hard, just takes some effort on your part...
