Answer to Problem 140CP
Answer
The balanced reaction is,
Explanation of Solution
Explanation
Given
The reduction half reaction is,
The oxidation state of chlorine decreased from
The oxidation half reaction is,
The oxidation state of iodine increased from
Now all the elements except H and O in reduction half reaction are balanced and then O atoms using
Then H atoms are balanced by adding
Finally, the charge is balanced by using electrons.
Now all elements except H and O in oxidation half reaction are balanced.
As there are no O and H atoms, the charge is balanced by using electrons.
The oxidation half reaction is multiplied by 8 and added to the other half reaction by cancelling the similar terms.
This is simplified further by dividing it by 3.
Hence, the balanced reaction is,
