Question

IN NEED OF HELP PLEASE

1. When the following equation is balanced properly under acidic conditions, what are the coefficients of the species shown? Pb2+ + CuPb + Cu2+

Water appears in the balanced equation as a (reactant, product, neither) with a coefficient of . (Enter 0 for neither.)

How many electrons are transferred in this reaction?

2. When the following equation is balanced properly under acidic conditions, what are the coefficients of the species shown? SO2 + BrO3-SO42- + Br-

Water appears in the balanced equation as a (reactant, product, neither) with a coefficient of . (Enter 0 for neither.)

How many electrons are transferred in this reaction?

Explanation / Answer

1.

Pb+2 +Cu --------------- Pb + Cu+2

+2        0                       0           +2

The oxidation state of Pb is decreases from +2 to 0, So it undergoes redcution

The oxidation state of Cu is increases from 0 to 2, So it undergoes oxidation.

    Oxidation half reaction    

Cu ---------------- Cu+2

Cu ------------- Cu+2 + 2e-

reduction half reaction

Pb+2 ------------- Pb

Pb+2 + 2e- ---------- Pb

Cu ------------- Cu+2 + 2e-

Pb+2 + 2e- ---------- Pb

-------------------------------------------

Cu + Pb+2 -------------- Pb + Cu+2

-------------------------------------------------

This is net balanced equation.

water molecules are present neither side of the reaction.

2)

        SO2 + BrO3- ----------------- SO4-2 + Br-

       +4        +5                              +6           -1

The oxidation state of S is increases from +4 to +6. So it undergoes oxidation

The oxidation state of Br is idecreases from +5 to -1. So it undegoes reduction.

Oxidation half reaction

SO2 ------------- SO4-2

SO2 + 2 H2O --------------- SO4-2

SO2 + 2 H2O --------------- SO4-2 + 4 H+

SO2 + 2 H2O --------------- SO4-2 + 4H+ +2e-

Reduction half reaction

BrO3- -------------------- Br-

BrO3- --------------- Br- + 3 H2O

BrO3- + 6 H+ -------------- Br- + 3 H2O

BrO3- + 6 H+ + 6e- -------------- Br- + 3 H2O

[SO2 + 2 H2O --------------- SO4-2 + 4H+ +2e-]x6

[BrO3- + 6 H+ + 6e- -------------- Br- + 3 H2O]x2

3 SO2 + 6 H2O ------------------ 3 SO4-2 + 12 H+ + 6e-

BrO3- + 6 H+ + 6e- ----------- Br- + 3 H2O

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

3 SO2 + BrO3- + 3 H2O ------------- 3 SO4-2 + Br- + 6 H+

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is balalced equation.

Three ( 3) moles Water molecules present on reactant side .
