A good method of preparing pure oxygen on a small scale is the decomposition of KMnO4 in a vacuum above 215°C: 2 KMnO4(s) → K,MnO4(s) + MnO,(s) + O3(g) Assign an oxidation number to each atom and verify that the total number of electrons lost is equal to the total number gained.

An acidic solution of permanganate (MnO4–) ions can oxidize nitrous acid to nitrate ions. The products include dissolved Mn2+ ions. Write the chemical equations describing the oxidation of nitrous acid and the reduction of permanganate, and combine the two half-reactions to write a net ionic equation describing the overall redox reaction. Use the lowest whole-number coefficients possible and include states of matter. Define Oxidation
Substances A, B, and C can all act as oxidizing agents. In solution, A is green, B is yellow, and C is red. In the reactions in which they participate, they are reduced to A−, B−, and C− ions, all of which are colorless. You are given an unknown, colorless, solution that contains one of the following salts: NaA, NaB, NaC. In solution, each salt dissociates completely into the Na+ ion and the anion A−, B−, or C−. The Na+ ion is effectively inert. You are given the availability of solutions of A, B, and C, develop a simple procedure for identifying the salt that is present in your unknown. Question 6 options: React your unknown with NaA, NaB and NaC respectively. If a reaction occurs, your unknown is a better oxidizing agent than what you reacted it with. Use the oxidation strength order calculated in the previous question to determine your unknown. React your unknown with NaA, NaB and NaC respectively. If a reaction occurs, your unknown is a worse…

H2(g) + I2(g) → 2HI(g) I was given this problem: A student makes the following statements: Hydrogen always has the same oxidation number, so it has an oxidation number of +1 in both the reactant H2 and product HI. Iodine is in Group VIIA, so it has an oxidation number of –1 in both the reactant I2 and product HI. Neither hydrogen nor iodine changes oxidation states, so the reaction is not a redox reaction. How can I describe the mistake that the student made, and determine whether or not the reaction is a redox reaction.
