Answer to Problem 4.126AP

Solution

The balanced equation of the given redox reaction is,

FeO42-(aq)+H2O(l)FeOOH(s)+O2(g)+OH(aq)

In the reactant side oxidation number of Fe in FeO42 ion is +6_ and the common oxidation number of oxygen and hydrogen are -2_ and +1_ respectively.

In the product side oxidation number of Fe in FeOOH is +3_ , the common oxidation number of hydrogen is +1_ , oxidation state of O2 is 0_ . And lastly the oxidation number of OH ion is -2_ .

Explanation of Solution

Explanation

The given redox reaction is,

FeO42-(aq)+H2O(l)FeOOH(s)+O2(g)+OH(aq)

The oxidation numbers of reactant and product will be assigned as follows:

The oxidation number of reactant side will be calculated as,

In the reactant side oxidation number of Fe present in FeO42 is to be calculated. The oxidation state of oxygen is usually 2 as it requires two more electrons in order to achieve stable electronic configuration. The oxidation number of Fe is assumed to be x and is calculated by using the formula,

Charge on FeO42=[(Number of Featoms×oxidation number of Fe)+(Number of O atoms×oxidation number of O)]

Since, the charge on FeO42 is 2 .

Substitute the number of atoms and their oxidation number in the above formula to calculate the oxidation number of Fe .

Charge on FeO42=[(x)+(4×(2))]2=x+(8)x=2+8x=+6_

Hence, the oxidation number of Fe in FeO42 is +6_ .

Therefore the oxidation numbers on the reactant side of Fe in FeO42 ion is +6_ and the common oxidation number of oxygen and hydrogen are -2_ and +1_ respectively.

In the product side oxidation number of Fe present in FeOOH is to be calculated. The oxidation state of oxygen is usually 2 as it requires two more electrons in order to achieve stable electronic configuration and the common oxidation state of hydrogen is +1 . The oxidation number of Fe is assumed to be x and is calculated by using the formula,

Charge on FeOOH=[(Number of Featoms×oxidation number of Fe)+(Number of O atoms×oxidation number of O)+(Number of H atoms×oxidation number of H)]

The charge on FeOOH is 0 .

Substitute the number of atoms and their oxidation number in the above formula to calculate the oxidation number of Fe .

Charge on FeOOH=[(x)+(2×(2))+1(+1)]0=x+(4)+1x=+3_

The common oxidation number of OH ion is -2_ .

Therefore, In the reactant side oxidation number of Fe in FeO42 ion is +6_ and the common oxidation number of oxygen and hydrogen are -2_ and +1_ respectively.

In the product side oxidation number of Fe in FeOOH is +3_ , the common oxidation number of hydrogen is +1_ , oxidation state of O2 is 0_ . And lastly the oxidation number of OH ion is -2_ .

Now balance the above given redox reaction as,

The given redox reaction is,

FeO42-(aq)+H2O(l)FeOOH(s)+O2(g)+OH(aq)

In the given reaction, the number of Fe O and hydrogen atoms are present on the reactant side is equal to their number on the product side.

Therefore, the balanced equation is,

FeO42-(aq)+H2O(l)FeOOH(s)+O2(g)+OH(aq)

Answer to Problem 4.126AP

Solution

The balanced equation of the given redox reaction is,

4FeO42-(aq)+4H2O(l)2Fe2O3(s)+3O2(g)+8OH(aq)

In the reactant side oxidation number of Fe in FeO42 ion is +6_ and the common oxidation number of oxygen and hydrogen in H2O are -2_ and +1_ respectively.

In the product side oxidation number of Fe in Fe2O3 is +3_ , the common oxidation number of hydrogen is +1_ and oxidation state of O2 is 0_ . And lastly the oxidation number of OH ion is -2_ .

Explanation of Solution

Explanation

The given unbalanced redox reaction is,

FeO42-(aq)+H2O(l)Fe2O3(s)+O2(g)+OH(aq)

The oxidation numbers of reactant and product will be assigned as follows:

The oxidation number of reactant side will be calculated as,

In the reactant side oxidation number of Fe present in FeO42 is to be calculated. The oxidation state of oxygen is usually 2 as it requires two more electrons in order to achieve stable electronic configuration. The oxidation number of Fe is assumed to be x and is calculated by using the formula,

Charge on FeO42=[(Number of Featoms×oxidation number of Fe)+(Number of O atoms×oxidation number of O)]

Since, the charge on FeO42 is 2 .

Substitute the number of atoms and their oxidation number in the above formula to calculate the oxidation number of Fe .

Charge on FeO42=[(x)+(4×(2))]2=x+(8)x=2+8x=+6_

Hence, the oxidation number of Fe in FeO42 is +6_ .

Therefore the oxidation numbers on the reactant side of Fe in FeO42 ion is +6_ and the common oxidation number of oxygen and hydrogen are -2_ and +1_ respectively.

In the product side oxidation number of Fe present in Fe2O3 is to be calculated. The oxidation state of oxygen is usually 2 as it requires two more electrons in order to achieve stable electronic configuration. The oxidation number of Fe is assumed to be x and is calculated by using the formula,

Charge on Fe2O3=[(Number of Featoms×oxidation number of Fe)+(Number of O atoms×oxidation number of O)]

Since, the charge on Fe2O3 is 0 that is neutral.

Substitute the number of atoms and their oxidation number in the above formula to calculate the oxidation number of Fe .

Charge on Fe2O3=[(2x)+(2×(3))]0=2x+(6)2x=+6x=+3_

The common oxidation number of OH ion is -2_ .

Therefore, In the reactant side oxidation number of Fe in FeO42 ion is +6_ and for H2O molecule the common oxidation number of oxygen and hydrogen are -2_ and +1_ respectively.

In the product side oxidation number of Fe in Fe2O3 is +3_ , the common oxidation number of hydrogen is +1_ , oxidation state of O2 is 0_ . And lastly the oxidation number of OH ion is -2_

Now balance the above given redox reaction as,

The given unbalanced redox reaction is,

FeO42-(aq)+H2O(l)Fe2O3(s)+O2(g)+OH(aq)

In this reaction the number of iron atoms will be balanced by putting coefficient of 4 in front of FeO42 in the reactant side and coefficient of 2 in front of Fe2O3 in the product side then the reaction becomes as,

4FeO42-(aq)+H2O(l)2Fe2O3(s)+O2(g)+OH(aq)

The number of oxygen and hydrogen atoms is not equal in both the sides of the equation. Thus, the coefficient of 4 is placed in front of water molecule and coefficient of 3 before O2 molecule in the reactant side and coefficient of 8 is placed before OH ions in the product side, then the reaction will become as,

4FeO42-(aq)+4H2O(l)2Fe2O3(s)+3O2(g)+8OH(aq)

Therefore the balanced equation is,

4FeO42-(aq)+4H2O(l)2Fe2O3(s)+3O2(g)+8OH(aq)

Conclusion

  1. a) The balanced equation of the given redox reaction is,

    FeO42-(aq)+H2O(l)FeOOH(s)+O2(g)+OH(aq)

  2. b) The balanced equation of the given redox reaction is,

    4FeO42-(aq)+4H2O(l)2Fe2O3(s)+3O2(g)+8OH(aq)
