Concept Introduction: The
- First, the given redox reaction is divided into half reactions one oxidation and the other reduction.
- Based on mass and charge the half-reactions are balanced.
- The electrons on both sides of the reaction are equalized.
- Then add the half-reactions together and the common one is eliminated to get the balanced equation.
(a)
Answer to Problem 48A
The balanced chemical equation is,
Explanation of Solution
In the given reaction,
The half-reactions can be written as,
Oxidation:
Reduction:
The electron count can be balanced by multiplying the oxidation equation by 2 and the reduction equation by 3. Therefore the equation becomes,
The count of aluminum is not equal on both sides. It can be done by multiplying 2 by it.
(b)
Interpretation: The balanced chemical equation of the given reaction
Concept Introduction: The chemical reaction that involves both oxidation and reduction is the redox reaction. Redox reactions can be balanced by following the half-reaction method. That is,
