(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The net ionic equations are to be balanced and the elements that are oxidized and reduced in the reaction are to be identified.

Concept introduction: Oxidation is a process in which there is a loss of electron during a reaction.

Answer to Problem 4.103QP

Solution

The balanced net equation is,

MnO2(s)+2HCl(aq)+2H+(aq)Mn2+(aq)+2Cl2(g)+2H2O(l)

Manganese is reduced and chlorine is oxidized in the reaction.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation

The given net ionic equation is,

MnO2(s)+HCl(aq)Mn2+(aq)+Cl2(g)

The above equation is not balanced, to balance the equation first number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms are to be balanced. Oxygen is balanced by adding water molecules with the coefficient of 2 in the right hand side of the reaction and is written as,

MnO2(s)+HCl(aq)Mn2+(aq)+Cl2(g)+2H2O(l)

Now, the +2 charge on the right hand side of the reaction is to be balanced by adding the H+ ions with the coefficient of 2 in the left hand side of the reaction and to balance the hydrogen atoms, the coefficient 2 is added to HCl in the left hand side of the reaction and is written as,

MnO2(s)+2HCl(aq)+2H+(aq)Mn2+(aq)+2Cl2(g)+2H2O(l)

The above equation is balanced net ionic equation.

The oxidation number of oxygen is (2) in common.

The oxidation number of manganese in MnO2 is calculated by the formula,

(SumofoxidationnumberofallelementinMnO2)=Netchargeonwholemolecule

The net charge in MnO2 is zero.

The oxidation number of manganese in MnO2 is assumed to be x .

Substitute the value of oxidation number in the above expression.

(Oxidationnumberofmanganese)+2(Oxidationnumberofoxygen)=0x+2(2)=0x+(4)=0x=+4

The oxidation number of manganese in MnO2 is +4 .

The oxidation number of manganese in Mn2+ is +2 .

The oxidation number of manganese decreases from +4 in MnO2 to +2 in Mn2+ . Thus, manganese is reduced.

Chlorine has an oxidation number zero in Cl2 and chloride ion has an oxidation number 1 .

The oxidation number of chlorine has increased from 1 in Cl to 0 in Cl2 . Hence, chlorine is oxidized.

Answer to Problem 4.103QP

Solution

The balanced net ionic equation is,

I2(s)+2S2O32(aq)S4O62(aq)+2I(aq)

Sulfur is oxidized and iodine is reduced in the reaction.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation

The given net ionic equation is,

I2(s)+S2O32(aq)S4O62(aq)+I(aq)

To balance the above equation for equal number of atoms on both the sides of the reaction, first iodine is balanced by adding coefficient 2 to I in the right hand side of the reaction and is written as,

I2(s)+S2O32(aq)S4O62(aq)+2I(aq)

Now, the sulfur and oxygen atoms are to be balanced by adding coefficient 2 to S2O32 in the left hand side of the reaction and is written as,

I2(s)+2S2O32(aq)S4O62(aq)+2I(aq)

The above equation is balanced net ionic equation.

The oxidation number of oxygen is (2) in common.

The oxidation number of sulfur in S2O32 is calculated by the formula,

(SumofoxidationnumberofallelementinS2O32)=Netchargeonwholemolecule

The net charge on S2O32 is 2 .

The oxidation number of sulfur in S2O32 is assumed to be x .

Substitute the value of oxidation number in the above expression.

2(Oxidationnumberofsulfur)+3(Oxidationnumberofoxygen)=22x+3(2)=22x+(6)=2x=+2

The oxidation number of sulfur in S2O32 is +2 .

The oxidation number of sulfur in S4O62 is calculated by the formula,

(SumofoxidationnumberofallelementinS4O62)=netchargeonwholemolecule

The net charge on S4O62 is 2 .

The oxidation number of sulfur in S4O62 is assumed to be x .

Substitute the value of oxidation number in the above expression.

4(Oxidationnumberofsulfur)+6(Oxidationnumberofoxygen)=24x+6(2)=24x+(12)=2x=+2.5

Thus, the average oxidation number of sulfur in S4O62 is +2.5 .

The oxidation number of sulfur has increased from 2 to +2.5 so, sulfur is oxidized.

The oxidation number of iodine has increased from 0 in I2 to 1 in I to. Hence, iodine is reduced.

Answer to Problem 4.103QP

Solution

The balanced net ionic equation is,

MnO4(aq)+5Fe2+(aq)+8H+(aq)Mn2+(aq)+5Fe3+(aq)+4H2O(l)

Iron is oxidized and manganese is reduced in the reaction.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation

The given net ionic equation is,

MnO4(aq)+Fe2+(aq)Mn2+(aq)+Fe3+(aq)

The above equation is not balanced, to balance the equation, first number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms are to be balanced. Oxygen is balanced by adding water molecules with the coefficient of 4 in the right hand side of the reaction and is written as,

MnO4(aq)+Fe2+(aq)Mn2+(aq)+Fe3+(aq)+4H2O(l)

The number of hydrogen atoms in the right hand side of the reaction is balanced by adding H+ ions with the coefficient of 8 in the left hand side of the reaction because reaction occurs in an acidic medium and is written as,

MnO4(aq)+Fe2+(aq)+8H+(aq)Mn2+(aq)+Fe3+(aq)+4H2O(l)

Then, the charge is balanced on both sides of the reaction by adding coefficient of five to give a total charge of +17 and is written as,

MnO4(aq)+5Fe2+(aq)+8H+(aq)Mn2+(aq)+5Fe3+(aq)+4H2O(l)

The above equation is balanced net ionic equation.

The oxidation number of oxygen is (2) in common.

The net charge on MnO4 is 1 .

The oxidation number of manganese in MnO4 is calculated by the formula,

(SumofoxidationnumberofallelementinMnO4)=Netchargeonwholemolecule

The oxidation number of manganese in MnO4 is assumed to be x .

Substitute the value of oxidation number in the above expression.

(Oxidationnumberofmanganese)+4(Oxidationnumberofoxygen)=1x+4(2)=1x+(8)=1x=+7

The oxidation number of manganese in MnO4 is +7 .

The oxidation number of manganese in Mn2+ is +2 .

The oxidation number of manganese decreases from +7 in MnO4 to +2 in Mn2+ . Thus, manganese is reduced.

The oxidation number of iron in Fe2+ is +2 and in Fe3+ it is +3 . So, the oxidation number of iron has increased from +2 to +3 .

Therefore, iron has oxidized.

Conclusion

  1. a) The balanced net equation is,

    MnO2(s)+2HCl(aq)+2H+(aq)Mn2+(aq)+2Cl2(g)+2H2O(l) Manganese is reduced and chlorine is oxidized in the reaction.
