all species listed in the reactions
below (some of which are
unbalanced—don’t worry about
it). Also, identify the oxidizing
agent, the species oxidized, the
reducing agent and species
reduced.
a) Zn(s) + ClO3
−(aq) = Zn2+(aq)
+Cl−(aq)
b) Al(s) + Cr2O7
2−(aq) = Al3+(aq)
+ Cr3+
c) 3CN–
(aq) + 2MnO4

(aq) +
H2O(l) = 3CNO–
(aq) +
2MnO2(s) + 2OH–
(aq)
