Balance the following redox reactions by balancing the half reactions and then combine the half reactions...

Balance the following redox reactions by balancing the half reactions and then combine the half reactions to get the overall balanced redox reaction with the lowest possible whole number coefficients.

1. Consider the following unbalanced redox reaction:

MnO2(s) + BrO3(aq) → MnO4(aq) + Br(aq)

(a) Balance the corresponding half reactions in acidic conditions using the lowest possible whole number coefficients.
(Enter coefficients for one and zero. Blanks will be marked incorrect.)

MnO2(s) +  H2O(l) +  OH(aq) +  H+(aq) +  e →  MnO4(aq) +  H2O(l) +  OH(aq) +  H+(aq) +  e

Tries 0/3



BrO3(aq) +  H2O(l) +  OH(aq) +  H+(aq) +  e →  Br(aq) +  H2O(l) +  OH(aq) +  H+(aq) +  e

Tries 0/3

(b) Using the results from part (a), balance the full reaction in acidic conditions with the lowest possible whole number coefficients.
(Enter coefficients for one and zero. Blanks will be marked incorrect.)

MnO2(s) +  BrO3(aq) +  H2O(l) +  OH(aq) +  H+(aq) →  MnO4(aq) +  Br(aq) +  H2O(l) +  OH(aq) +  H+(aq)

Tries 0/3


2. Consider the following unbalanced redox reaction:

AsO2(aq) + ClO(aq) → As(s) + ClO2(aq)

(a) Balance the corresponding half reactions in acidic conditions using the lowest possible whole number coefficients.
(Enter coefficients for one and zero. Blanks will be marked incorrect.)


AsO2(aq) +  H2O(l) +  OH(aq) +  H+(aq) +  e →  As(s) +  H2O(l) +  OH(aq) +  H+(aq) +  e

Tries 0/3



ClO(aq) +  H2O(l) +  OH(aq) +  H+(aq) +  e →  ClO2(aq) +  H2O(l) +  OH(aq) +  H+(aq) +  e

Tries 0/3

(b) Using the results from part (a), balance the full reaction in acidic conditions with the lowest possible whole number coefficients.
(Enter coefficients for one and zero. Blanks will be marked incorrect.)

AsO2(aq) +  ClO(aq) +  H2O(l) +  OH(aq) +  H+(aq) →  As(s) +  ClO2(aq) +  H2O(l) +  OH(aq) +  H+(aq)

Tries 0/3

(c) Using the results from part (b), balance the full reaction in basic conditions with the lowest possible whole number coefficients.
(Enter coefficients for one and zero. Blanks will be marked incorrect.)

AsO2(aq) +  ClO(aq) +  H2O(l) +  OH(aq) +  H+(aq) →  As(s) +  ClO2(aq) +  H2O(l) +  OH(aq) +  H+(aq)
