Chapter 21, Problem 15QAP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

To write the net balanced ionic equation for the following:

The electrolytic decomposition of hydrogen fluoride.

Concept introduction:

Net ionic equation is the ionic equation in which reactants are written in the form of ions if they occur as ions in a reaction medium and product form are shown as combination of ions. The charges of ions and number of each atom in the reaction are balanced.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

To write the net ionic equation for the following:

The oxidation of iodine ion to iodine by hydrogen peroxide in acidic solution. Hydrogen peroxide is reduced to water
