Balance the following redox reaction equation first in acidic solution and then in a basic solution:
Cr (s) + MnO2 (s) --> Mn+2 (aq) + Cr+3 (aq)
1)
Cr in Cr has oxidation state of 0
Cr in Cr+3 has oxidation state of +3
So, Cr in Cr is oxidised to Cr+3
Mn in MnO2 has oxidation state of +4
Mn in Mn+2 has oxidation state of +2
So, Mn in MnO2 is reduced to Mn+2
Reduction half cell:
MnO2 + 2e- --> Mn+2
Oxidation half cell:
Cr --> Cr+3 + 3e-
Balance number of electrons to be same in both half reactions
Reduction half cell:
3 MnO2 + 6e- --> 3 Mn+2
Oxidation half cell:
2 Cr --> 2 Cr+3 + 6e-
Lets combine both the reactions.
3 MnO2 + 2 Cr --> 3 Mn+2 + 2 Cr+3
Balance Oxygen by adding water
3 MnO2 + 2 Cr --> 3 Mn+2 + 2 Cr+3 + 6 H2O
Balance Hydrogen by adding H+
3 MnO2 + 2 Cr + 12 H+ --> 3 Mn+2 + 2 Cr+3 + 6 H2O
This is balanced equation in acidic medium
Answer:
3 MnO2(s) + 2 Cr(s) + 12 H+(aq) -> 3 Mn+2(aq) + 2 Cr+3(aq) + 6 H2O(l)
b)
We have:
3 MnO2 + 2 Cr + 12 H+ --> 3 Mn+2 + 2 Cr+3 + 6 H2O
Add equal number of OH- on both sides as the number of H+
3 MnO2 + 2 Cr + 12 H+ + 12 OH- --> 3 Mn+2 + 2 Cr+3 + 6 H2O + 12 OH-
Combine H+ and OH- to form water
3 MnO2 + 2 Cr + 12 H2O --> 3 Mn+2 + 2 Cr+3 + 6 H2O + 12 OH-
Remove common H2O from both sides
Balanced Eqn is
3 MnO2 + 2 Cr + 6 H2O --> 3 Mn+2 + 2 Cr+3 + 12 OH-
This is balanced chemical equation in basic medium
Answer:
3 MnO2(s) + 2 Cr(s) + 6 H2O(l) -> 3 Mn+2(aq) + 2 Cr+3(aq) + 12 OH-(aq)
