Explanation / Answer

1)The first reaction is correct 2) Oxygen has a -2 charge not -1 so in MnO4- Oxygen is -2which gives a total of -8. Since the compound has a -1 charge, Mnis +7 not +4. H+ is a +1 charge, it looks like you have a +2charge listed. The C2O4 molecule is not correct, the total moleculehas a -2 charge. Therefore the C2 will be +6 not +8. Thewater is not correct as well. It should be +2 and -2 not +4 and-4. 3) For the third reaction Sulfur has a -2 charge not -3,therefore lead has a +2 charge, not +3. H2O2 is a specialcompound wilh oxygen having only a -1 charge, this is an exceptionto the rule. Hyrdogen will always have a +1 charge though. So iH2)2 it should be +2/-2. In PbSO4 the compound is neutral thereorethe oxygen is a total of -8. Sulfur is is +6 and Pb is +2 4) In the last reaction is totally correct, but see myexplanation below regarding the redox component Just keep in mind that oxygen is always -2 unlss in a peroxidemolecule, H2O2. H+ is always +1. The sum of all charges in thecompound has to equal the total charge of the molecule. Make sureyou stay consistent Make sure you understand that for example O4 has a -8charge total, but this is because oxygen has a -2 charge per ion.Therefore keep in mind that reduction and oxidation reactions referto individual elements and not the whole compound. For example: H2O2 to H2O, the reduction is O- to O2-, so itgains 1e-. It is not -2 to -2 as you have listed in th lastreaction. Redox is for individual elements such as Mn, Pb, O notwhole compounds such as O2, PbS, etc For example: H2O2 to H2O, the reduction is O- to O2-, so itgains 1e-. It is not -2 to -2 as you have listed in th lastreaction. Redox is for individual elements such as Mn, Pb, O notwhole compounds such as O2, PbS, etc Good Luck
