Question

Balance the following equations. When balancing equations for redox reactions in aqueous solution, it is necessary to add water molecules (H_2 O) and either H^+ (aq) in acidic solution or OH (aq) in basic solution to the equation. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Use the pull-down boxes to specify states such as (aq) or (s). If a box is not needed, leave it blank.) cd(s) + VO^21 + (aq) rightarrow Cd^21(aq) = V^3 + (aq) (acid solution) Cd + 2 VO^2 + 4 H^+ rightarrow Cd^2 2V^3 + 2 H_2 O Cd(s) + ClO^-(aq) rightarrow Cd (OH)_2 (s) + CI + CI^-(aq) basic solution)

Explanation / Answer

Here the equation is being balanced in a basic solution, the appropriate number of OH- must be added.

Cd (s) + ClO-(aq) +H2O(l) Cd2+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + 2 OH-(aq)
