Question

Balance the following redox reactions. In each case (a) give the balanced half-reactions; Identify the oxidation half-reaction and the reduction half-reaction. (b) give the balanced net reaction. (c) identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent. 1. Cl2(g) + S2O32-(aq) ---->Cl-(aq) + SO42-(aq) in acid solution. 2. O3(g) + Br-(aq) ----> O2(g) + BrO-(aq) in basic solution. 3. Br2(l) ---->Br-(aq) + BrO3-(aq) in basic solution.

Answer 1

Explanation:

To balance a redox reaction, first take an equation and separate into two half reaction equations specifically oxidation and reduction, and balance them. Balance the following in an acidic solution. Step 2: Balance each of the half equations in this order: Atoms other than H and O.
