Problem 2.
Complete and balance the following equations for the reactions occurring in basic solution:
a. MnO4-(aq)+C2O42-(aq)→MnO2(s)+CO2(g)
b. NO2-(aq) + Al(s) → NH3(g) + Al(OH)4-(aq)
Answer:
a. 4H2O + 2MnO4- + 3C2O42- → 2MnO2 + 8OH- + 6CO2
b. 5H2O + NO2- + OH- + 2Al → NH3+ 2Al(OH)4-
Consider given reaction, MnO4- (aq) + C2O42- (aq)→MnO2 (s) + CO2 (g)
From above reaction , we get oxidation & reduction half equations as shown below.
Oxidation : C2O42- (aq) CO2 (g)
Reduction : MnO 4- (aq) MnO 2 (s)
Now, balance the atoms other than H & O in both half equations.
Oxidation : C2O42- (aq) 2 CO2 (g)
Reduction : MnO 4- (aq) MnO 2 (s)
Balance half equations for O atoms by adding H2O to the side of half equations with less number of O atoms.
Oxidation : C2O42- (aq) 2 CO2 (g)
Reduction : MnO 4- (aq) MnO 2 (s) + 2 H2O (l)
Balance half equations for H atoms by adding H+to the side of half equations with less number of H atoms.
Oxidation : C2O42- (aq) 2 CO2 (g)
Reduction : MnO 4- (aq) + 4 H + (aq) MnO 2 (s) + 2 H2O (l)
Balance above equations for charge by adding electrons.
Oxidation : C2O42- (aq) 2 CO2 (g) + 2 e -
Reduction : MnO 4- (aq) + 4 H + (aq) + 3 e - MnO 2 (s) + 2 H2O (l)
Now, we can make number of electrons in two half equations equal by multiplying oxidation equation by 3 & reduction equation by 2.
Oxidation : 3 C2O42- (aq) 6 CO2 (g) + 6 e -
Reduction : 2 MnO 4- (aq) + 8 H + (aq) + 6 e - 2 MnO 2 (s) + 4 H2O (l)
Add two half equations to get overall equation.
3 C2O42- (aq) 6 CO2 (g) + 6 e -
2 MnO 4- (aq) + 8 H + (aq) + 6 e - 2 MnO 2 (s) + 4 H2O (l)
Overall : 3 C2O42- (aq) + 2 MnO 4- (aq) + 8 H + (aq) 6 CO2 (g) + 2 MnO 2 (s) + 4 H2O (l)
Above reaction takes place in basic medium.Hence add OH - ions equal to H+ ions on both sides of above equation.
3 C2O42- (aq) + 2 MnO 4- (aq) + 8 H + (aq) + 8 OH - (aq) 6 CO2 (g) + 2 MnO 2 (s) + 4 H2O (l) + 8 OH - (aq)
We have, H + (aq) + OH - (aq) H2O (l)
3 C2O42- (aq) + 2 MnO 4- (aq) + 8 H2O (l) 6 CO2 (g) + 2 MnO 2 (s) + 4 H2O (l) + 8 OH - (aq)
On cancelling H2O (l) we get our final redox equation.
3 C2O42- (aq) + 2 MnO 4- (aq) + 4 H2O (l) 6 CO2 (g) + 2 MnO 2 (s) + 8 OH - (aq)
b) Consider a given reaction, NO 2- (aq) + Al (s) NH 3 (g) + Al(OH) 4 - (aq)
From above reaction , we get oxidation & reduction half equations as shown below.
Oxidation : Al (s) Al(OH) 4 - (aq)
Reduction : NO 2- (aq) NH 3 (g)
Balance half equations for O atoms by adding H2O to the side of half equations with less number of O atoms.
Oxidation : Al (s) + 4 H2O (l) Al(OH) 4- (aq)
Reduction : NO 2- (aq) NH 3 (g) + 2 H2O (l)
Balance half equations for H atoms by adding H+to the side of half equations with less number of H atoms.
Oxidation : Al (s) + 4 H2O (l) Al(OH) 4 - (aq) + 4 H + (aq)
Reduction : NO 2- (aq) + 7 H + (aq) NH 3 (g) + 2 H2O (l)
Balance above equations for charge by adding electrons.
Oxidation : Al (s) + 4 H2O (l) Al(OH) 4- (aq) + 4 H + (aq) +3 e -
Reduction : NO 2- (aq) + 7 H + (aq) + 6 e - NH 3 (g) + 2 H2O (l)
Now, we can make number of electrons in two half equations equal by multiplying oxidation equation by 2
Oxidation : 2 Al (s) + 8 H2O (l) 2 Al(OH) 4- (aq) + 8 H + (aq) + 6 e -
Reduction : NO 2- (aq) + 7 H + (aq) + 6 e - NH 3 (g) + 2 H2O (l)
Add two half equations to get overall equation.
2 Al (s) + 8 H2O (l) 2 Al(OH) 4- (aq) + 8 H + (aq) + 6 e -
NO 2- (aq) + 7 H + (aq) + 6 e - NH 3 (g) + 2 H2O (l)
OVERALL : 2 Al (s) + NO 2- (aq) + 6 H2O (l) 2 Al(OH) 4- (aq) + NH 3 (g) + H + (aq)
Above reaction takes place in basic medium.Hence add OH - ions equal to H+ ions on both sides of above equation.
2 Al (s) + NO 2- (aq) + 6 H2O (l)+ OH - (aq) 2 Al(OH) 4- (aq) + NH 3 (g) + H + (aq)+ OH - (aq)
We have, H + (aq) + OH - (aq) H2O (l)
2 Al (s) + NO 2- (aq) + 6 H2O (l)+ OH - (aq) 2 Al(OH) 4- (aq) + NH 3 (g) + H2O (l)
2 Al (s) + NO 2- (aq) + 5 H2O (l)+ OH - (aq) 2 Al(OH) 4- (aq) + NH 3 (g)
This is the balanced redox equation in basic medium.
