In the following reactions, which substance is oxidized? Which is the oxidizing agent?
a. 2 NHO3+ SO2→H2 SO4+2 NO2 2
b. CrO3+6 HI→Cr2 O3+3 I2+3 H2 O
c. 2 MnO2+NO2-+2H+→Mn2O2+NO3-
d. 3 MnO2+2NH4+→3 Mn2++N2+6 H2O
Oxidation ---> to lose electrons (+1 --> +2)
Reduction ---> to gain electrons (+5 --> +3)
Oxidation agent, the one that gets reduced (gains electrons)
Reducing agent, the on that gets oxidized (loses electrons)
Now
A) 2NHO3 + SO2→H2SO4 + 2(NO2-2)
Suphur:
SO2 --> x + 2(-2) = 0
therefore oxidation number of S = +4
in the product
H2SO4
SO4 = -2 charged
SO4 = x + 4*(-2) = x-8 = -2
x = +6
S = +4 to S = +6 ... there is a loss of 2 electrons, therefore S is oxidizing!
H rarely reduces/oxidizes so lets analyze N
for N
NHO3 --> 0 charge
x + 1 + 3(-2) = x + 1-6 = 0
x = +5
IN the NO2-2
charge = -2
x + 2*(-2) = -2
x -4 = -2
x = +2
Therefore:
N goes from x = +5 to x = +2, it is gaining electrons, therefore reducing. If it reduces, it is the oxidizing agent!
B)
CrO3+6HI→Cr2O3+ 4I2+ 3H2O
Lets analyz Cr, which is comonly reduced/oxidized
CrO3 = 0
x + 2(-3) = 0
x = +6
Cr = +6
to Cr2O3 =0
2*x + 2(-3) =0
x = +3
Cr = +3
Therefore
Cr goes from +6 to +3, it is gainig +3 electrons, it is reducing! this is the oxidizing agent!
Now analyze I
HI = 0
+1 + x = 0
x = -1
In the I2 form:
I2 = 0
therefore
I = 0
it is losing -1 to 0, 1 electron, this is oxidizing, therefore the reducing agent
