Chapter 19.2, Problem 15PP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The given redox reaction is to be balanced using the oxidation number method.

Concept Introduction :

The oxidation number method involves:-

  • Assign the oxidation number to each element.
  • Check which element is oxidized and which element is reduced.
  • Check the change in oxidation number for the elements which are oxidized and reduced.
  • Balance the change in oxidation number by adjusting the coefficients in the equation.
  • Then balance the other elements.

Answer to Problem 15PP

  3HCl+2HNO33HOCl+2NO+H2O

Explanation of Solution

The given redox reaction is:

  HCl+HNO3HOCl+NO+H2O

Assigning the oxidation number-

  H+1Cl1+H+1N+5O23H+1O2Cl+1+N+2O2+H+12O2

The oxidation numbers of atoms show that

Cl is oxidized and N is reduced.

Change in oxidation number of Cl=+2

Change in oxidation number of N=3

Thus adjusting the coefficients:

  3HCl+2HNO33HOCl+2NO+H2O

Conclusion

Thus the balanced chemical equation is:

  3HCl+2HNO33HOCl+2NO+H2O
