Chapter 4, Problem 4.108QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The overall equations for converting soluble uranium polyatomic ions into insoluble ${\text{UO}}_{\text{2}}$ by adding the given pairs of reduction and oxidation reactions are to be developed.

Concept introduction: Uranium is an element with chemical symbol $\text{U}$. It’s atomic number is $92$. The isotopes of uranium are very unstable.

Uranium is used in nuclear weapons, as a colorant in uranium glass. $\text{U}-235$ is the most common isotopes of uranium used in nuclear reactors as a fuel.
