(a)
Interpretation:
The given equation has to be written complete and balanced
Concept Introduction:
Balancing the equation:
- There is a Law for conversion of mass in a
chemical reaction i.e., the mass of total amount of the product should be equal to the total mass of the reactants. - The concept of writing a balanced chemical reaction is depends on conversion of reactants into products.
- First write the reaction from the given information.
- Then count the number of atoms of each element in reactants as well as products.
- Finally obtained values could place it as coefficients of reactants as well as products.
- Loss of electron and loss of Hydrogen in a compound is oxidation - the compound is oxidized. Gain of electron, gain of Oxygen in a compound is reduction - the compound is reduced.
Oxidation reduction and reduction reaction occur simultaneously in same reaction.
To Write: The given equation complete and balanced.
