Chapter 21, Problem 63IAE
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The feasibility of the reaction is to be determined where Li is produced from LiCl and Na acts as a reducing agent.

Concept introduction:

The feasibility of a reaction depends upon the standard reduction potential of the reaction. If the EMF of the cell reaction has a positive value, then the reaction will certainly be spontaneous and feasible in nature.

A reducing agent is a chemical species which has the tendency to reduce others and gets oxidized itself in the reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The feasibility of the reaction is to be determined where Cs is produced from CsCl where Na acts as a reducing agent.

Concept introduction:

The feasibility of a reaction depends upon the standard reduction potential of the reaction. If the EMF of the cell reaction has a positive value, then the reaction will certainly be spontaneous and feasible in nature.

A reducing agent is a chemical species which has the tendency to reduce others and gets oxidized itself in the reaction.

Although the ClO4- and IO4- ions have been known for along time, BrO4- was not synthesized until 1965. The ion wassynthesized by oxidizing the bromate ion with xenon difluoride,producing xenon, hydrofluoric acid, and the perbromateion. (a) Write the balanced equation for this reaction.(b) What are the oxidation states of Br in the Br-containingspecies in this reaction?
