Explanation:
Correct option is D) none of these
The unbalanced redox equation is as follows:
Cu+NO
3
→Cu 2+NO 2
All atoms other than H and O are balanced.
The oxidation number of Cu changes from 0 to 2. The change in the oxidation number of Cu is 2.
The oxidation number of N changes from 5 to 4. The change in the oxidation number of N is 1.
The increase in the oxidation number is balanced with decrease in the oxidation number by multiplying NO
3and NO 2
with 2..
Cu+2NO3→Cu 2+2NO 2
O atoms are balanced by adding 2 water molecule on RHS.
Cu+2NO 3
→Cu 2 +2NO 2+2H 2O
To balance H atoms, add 4 H
on LHS.
Cu+2NO 3+4H + →Cu 2+ +2NO 2+2H 2 O
Since the reaction occurs in basic medium, add 4 hydroxide ions on both sides of the equation.
Cu+2NO 3+4H +4OH →Cu 2 +2NO2 +2H2O+4OH
On LHS, 4 H +
ions combine with 4 OH
ions to form 4 water molecules out of which 2 water molecules cancel out with 2 water molecules on RHS.
Cu+2NO 3+2H 2O→Cu 2 +2NO 2+4OH −
This is the balanced chemical equation.
