Question

Write the half-balanced equations and the balanced equation for each of the following reactions in acidic media.                                                                                                                                                                                Fe^2+ +Cr2O7^4/2- ----->Fe^3+ + Cr^3+ . N2H4 reacts with the bromate ion to produce nitrogen gas and the bromide ion. The permanganate ion reacts with diarsenic trioxide to produce the manganese (II) and arsenate ions. MnO4^- + ClO^-   ------->    Mn^2+ +ClO2^- . IO4^- + Fe^2+ -------> IO2^- + Fe^3+ .                                                                                                                        

Explanation / Answer

Write the half-balanced equations and the balanced equation for each of the following reactions in acidic media:

Fe^2+ + Cr2O7^2- ----->Fe^3+ + Cr^3+ .

6e^- + 14 H^+ + Cr2O7^2-    ---->   2Cr^3+ + 7H2O

(Fe^2+    ------> Fe^3+ + 1e- ) x 6

______________________________________________

6 Fe^2+ + 14 H^+ + Cr2O7^2- -----> 2Cr^3+ + 7H2O + 6 Fe^3+

N2H4 reacts with the bromate ion to produce nitrogen gas and the bromide ion.

N2H4 + BrO3^- ---->   N2 + Br-

(6e- + 6H^+ + BrO3^-    ------>   Br- + 3H2O) x 4

(N2H4    ------> N2 + 4H^+ 4e-) x 6

________________________________________________

4 BrO3^- + 6 N2H4 -----> 4 Br- + 12 H2O + 6N2


The permanganate ion reacts with diarsenic trioxide to produce the manganese (II) and arsenate ions.

MnO4^- + As2O3   ---->   Mn^+2 + AsO4^+3

5e- + 8H^+ + MnO4^-   ----> Mn^+2 + 4H2O

H2O + As2O3   -----> AsO4^+3 + 2H^+ + 5e-

___________________________________________

H2O + As2O3 + 6H^+ + MnO4^- ----> Mn^+2 + 3H2O + AsO4^+3


MnO4^- + ClO^- -------> Mn^2+ +ClO2^-

(5e- + 8H^+ + MnO4^-   ----> Mn^+2 + 4H2O) x 2

(H2O + ClO^-    -----> ClO2^-   + 2H^+ + 2e-) x 5

________________________________________

6H^+ + 2 MnO4^- + 5 ClO^- ----->2 Mn^+2 + 3 H2O + 5 ClO2^-   


IO4^- + Fe^2+ -------> IO2^- + Fe^3+ .

4e- + 4H^+ + IO4^-    -----> IO2^-   + 2H2O

(4H^+ + IO4^-     ------> Fe^3+ + 1e- ) x 4

_____________________________________


4H^+ + IO4^- + 16H^+ + 4 IO4^- ----> IO2^-   + 2H2O + 4Fe^3+
