Chapter 21, Problem 21.11P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The species that is being oxidized in the given balanced redox reaction has to be identified.

2CrO2(aq)+2H2O(l)+6ClO(aq)2CrO42(aq)+3Cl2(g)+4OH(aq)

Concept Introduction:

An electrochemical cell is a device in which a redox reaction is used to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Such device is also known as the galvanic or voltaic cell.

Galvanic cell consists of two half-cells. The redox reaction occurs in these half-cells. The half-cell in which the reduction reaction occurs is known as the reduction half-cell, whereas the half-cell in which the oxidation reaction occurs is known as the oxidation half-cell.

Anode: The electrode where the oxidation occurs is called as an anode. It is a negatively charged electrode.

Cathode: The electrode where reduction occurs is called as a cathode. It is a positively charged electrode.

Oxidation: The gain of oxygen or the loss of hydrogen or the loss of an electron in a species during a redox reaction is called as oxidation.

Reduction: The loss of oxygen or the gain of hydrogen or the gain of an electron in a species during a redox reaction is called as reduction.

Explanation of Solution

From given redox reaction the species that is being oxidized is identified by using the oxidation number of the species. The species that gets oxidized will results to have increased oxidation number.

First, the oxidation number for each species in redox reaction is determined as follows,

3-1+1-2+1-2             +6-2                0           -2+12CrO2(aq)+2H2O(l)+6ClO(aq)2CrO42(aq)+3Cl2(g)+4OH(aq)

Therefore, it is clear that CrO2- is oxidized since its oxidation number increases from +3 in reactant side to +6 in product side.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The species that is being reduced in the given redox reaction has to be identified.

2CrO2(aq)+2H2O(l)+6ClO(aq)2CrO42(aq)+3Cl2(g)+4OH(aq)

Explanation of Solution

From given redox reaction the species that is being reduced is identified by using the oxidation number of the species. The species that gets reduced will results to have decreased oxidation number.

First, the oxidation number for each species in redox reaction is determined as follows,

3-1+1-2+1-2             +6-2                0           -2+12CrO2(aq)+2H2O(l)+6ClO(aq)2CrO42(aq)+3Cl2(g)+4OH(aq)

Therefore, it is clear that ClO- is reduced since its oxidation number decreases from +1 in reactant side to 0 in product side.

(c)
