6.

When the following skeletal equation is balanced under basic conditions, what are the coefficients of the species shown?

_______HXeO4-+ _______SO32- -------> _____SO42-+ _____Xe

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

Which SPECIES is the reducing agent?

Explanation / Answer

1. Br2 + N2H4 + 6H2O + OH- ----> 2BrO3- + 2NH3 + 7H+ + 2H2O

Br2 + N2H4 + 4H2O + OH- ----> 2BrO3- + 2NH3 + 7H+

From the balanced equation, it can now be inferred that water occurs as the reactant in the reaction with a coefficient of four.

In this reaction, while Br goes from 0 to +5 being oxidised, N goes from -2 to -3 thus being reduced by addition of electrons.
