(a)
Interpretation:
A complete and balanced equation for the following reaction has to be written. ‘NR’ has to be written in case of no reaction.
Concept introduction:
- 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.
(a)

Answer to Problem 21.61QP
The balanced equation for the given reaction is,
Explanation of Solution
Halide ions and Halogens act as oxidizing and reducing agents. Reaction between halide ions and halogens depend upon their strength as oxidizing and reducing agent. A reducing agent loses electron whereas an oxidizing agent gains electrons.
A halide ion or halogen which is stronger oxidizing agent reacts only with a halide ion or halogen which is stronger reducing agent. Iodine, in presence of Chloride ion is not a strong oxidizing agent that it doesn’t react with chloride ion.
