Chapter 19, Problem 81A
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The given redox reaction is to be balanced.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation number method to balance ionic equation involve:-

  • Assign the oxidation number to each element.
  • Check which element is oxidized and which element is reduced.
  • Check the change in oxidation number for the elements which are oxidized and reduced.
  • Balance the change in oxidation number by adjusting the coefficients in the equation.

Answer to Problem 81A

3Mg+2Fe+33Mg+2+2Fe

Explanation of Solution

The given redox reaction is:

Mg+Fe+3Mg+2+Fe

Assigning the oxidation number-

Mg0+Fe+3+3Mg+2+2+Fe0

The oxidation numbers of atoms shows that

Mg is oxidized and Fe is reduced.

Change in oxidation number of Mg=+2

Change in oxidation number of Fe=3

Thus adjusting the coefficients:

3Mg+2Fe+3Mg+2+Fe

Adjusting the rest atoms:

3Mg+2Fe+33Mg+2+2Fe

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The given redox reaction is to be balanced.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation number method to balance ionic equation in acidic solution involve:-

  • Assign the oxidation number to each element.
  • Check which element is oxidized and which element is reduced.
  • Check the change in oxidation number for the elements which are oxidized and reduced.
  • Balance the change in oxidation number by adjusting the coefficients in the equation.
  • Then add enough hydrogen ions to balance the charge and water molecules to the equation to balance hydrogen atoms on both sides.

Answer to Problem 81A

ClO31+3SO2+3H2OCl+3SO42+6H+

Explanation of Solution

The given redox reaction is:

ClO31+SO2Cl+SO42

Assigning the oxidation number-

Cl+5O31+S+4O2Cl1+S+6O42

The oxidation numbers of atoms shows that

S is oxidized and Cl is reduced.

Change in oxidation number of S=+2

Change in oxidation number of Cl=6

Thus adjusting the coefficients:

ClO31+3SO2Cl+SO42

Balancing the atoms:

ClO31+3SO2Cl+3SO42

Now adding hydrogen ions on right side of equation to balance negative charge

ClO31+3SO2Cl+3SO42+6H+

Adding water to left side:

ClO31+3SO2+3H2OCl+3SO42+6H+
