(a)
Interpretation:
The balancing of given half-reaction of redox should be explained.
Concept introduction:
Redox:
The reduction and oxidation reactions are occur simultaneously with in a single reaction is known as
The unbalanced charge (electron) and atoms (ions) in the equation of redox reactions are commonly balanced by half reaction method.
In this method, the given redox reaction is separated by two half reactions, one is oxidation and another one is reduction.
The medium of the reaction is used to balance the Hydrogen and Oxygen ions in the half cell reactions.
Balancing of redox reaction in acid medium:
In the acid medium, the addition of
Charge is balanced by addition of electron in the sides with the greater positive charge.
Balancing of redox reaction in basic medium:
In the acid medium, the addition of
Charge is balanced by addition of electron in the sides with the greater positive charge.
