Chapter 17, Problem 16E

Balance the following reactions and write the reactions using cell notation. Ignore any inert electrodes, as they are never part of the half-reactions.

(a) $\text{Al}\left(s\right)+{\text{Zr}}^{4+}\left(aq\right)\to {\text{Al}}^{3+}\left(aq\right)+\text{Zr}\left(s\right)$

(b) ${\text{Ag}}^{+}\left(aq\right)+\text{No}\left(g\right)\to \text{Ag}\left(s\right)+{\text{NO}}_3{}^{-}\left(aq\right)$ (acidic solution).

(C) ${\text{SiO}}_3{}^{2-}\left(aq\right)+\text{Mg}\left(s\right)\to \text{Si}\left(s\right)+\text{Mg}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_2\left(s\right)$ (basic solution).

(d) ${\text{CIO}}_3{}^{-}\left(aq\right)+{\text{MnO}}_2\left(s\right)\to {\text{CI}}^{-}\left(aq\right)+{\text{MnO}}_4{}^{-}\left(aq\right)$ (basic solution)
