Chapter 19.2, Problem 24PP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given redox reaction is to be balanced using half reaction method.

Concept introduction:

Half reaction method to balance ionic equation in acidic solution involve:-

  • Assign the oxidation number to each element.
  • Check which element is oxidized and which element is reduced. Write oxidation and reduction half reactions.
  • Check the change in oxidation number for the elements which are oxidized and reduced.
  • Then add enough hydrogen ions and water molecules to the equation to balance hydrogen atoms on both sides.
  • Adjust the coefficients so that number of electrons lost in oxidation is equal to electrons gained in reduction.
  • Add the balanced half reactions.

Answer to Problem 24PP

3Mn+2+5BiO3+6H+3MnO4+3H2O+5Bi+2

Explanation of Solution

The given redox reaction is:

Mn+2+BiO31MnO4+Bi+2

Assigning the oxidation number-

Mn+2+2+Bi+5O231Mn+7O24+Bi+2+2

The oxidation numbers of atoms shows that

Mn is oxidized and Bi is reduced.

Change in oxidation number of Mn=+5

Change in oxidation number of Bi=3

Mn+2MnO4+5e(Oxidation)

BiO3+3eBi+2(Reduction)

Balancing the atoms and charges:

Mn+2+4H2OMnO4+5e+8H+(Oxidation)

BiO3+3e+6H+Bi+2+3H2O(Reduction)

Now adding both reactions after multiplying oxidation half cell reaction with 3 and reduction half reaction with 5

3Mn+2+5BiO3+6H+3MnO4+3H2O+5Bi+2

Conclusion

Thus the balanced redox equation is:

3Mn+2+5BiO3+6H+3MnO4+3H2O+5Bi+2
