Question

 Complete and balance the following skeletal reaction using the half reaction method. (This question is broken into steps and all the following questions are for balancing this one reaction).
 Mn2+   +     BiO3–    →    MnO4 +     Bi3+   [acidic]
Now balance the half reactions separately. Fist balance the non-oxygen, non-hydrogen elements for the half reaction:
   Mn2+      →    MnO4     
and since there is one Mn on each side that is done.

a. None of these
b. 8 water to the reactant side
c. 3 water to the reactant side
d. 3 water to the product side
e. 4 water to the reactant side
f. 4 water to the product side
g. 8 water to the product side

Now we want to balance the other half reaction:
   BiO3–    →      Bi3+   
There is one Bi on each side, so we go to the 2nd step, how many waters are added and to which side?
Select one:
a. 8 water to the product side
b. 3 water to the reactant side
c. 4 water to the reactant side
d. None of these
e. 4 water to the product side

Now you have balanced each half reaction. Before adding the two half reactions, do you need to multiply ether half reaction by something to get to the same number of electrons gained and lost? If so, how many electrons do you need in each half reaction?
Select one:
a. 1 electron
b. None of these
c. 10 electrons
d. 5 electrons
e. 6 electrons
f. 4 electrons
g. 2 electrons
h. 8 electrons
i. 9 electrons
j. 3 electrons
