Redox Reactions
The compound that cannot act both as oxidising and reducing agent is:
The number of moles of $$K_2Cr_2O_7 $$ reduced by one moles of $$Sn^{2+}$$ ions is:
Ionic form of reaction is:
$$Cr_2O_7^{2-} + Sn^{+2} +H^+ \rightarrow Sn^{+4}+ Cr^{+3}+H_2O$$
Step 1: Assign the oxidation state using oxidation number of $$O=-2$$.
we get:
$$\overset {+6}{Cr_2}O_7^{2-} + \overset {+2}{Sn^{2+}} + H^+ \rightarrow \overset {+4}{Sn^{4+}} + \overset {+3}{Cr^{3+}} + H_2O$$
Reduction half-reaction:
$$\overset {+6}{Cr_2}O_7^{2-} \rightarrow 2\overset {+3}{Cr^{3+}}$$: Gain of 6 electrons
Oxidation half reaction:
$$\overset {+2}{Sn^{2+}} \rightarrow \overset {+4}{Sn^{4+}}$$: Loss of 2 electrons
Step 2: Equalise the number of electrons as:
Oxidation half reaction:
$$3\overset {+2}{Sn^{2+}} \rightarrow 3\overset {+4}{Sn^{4+}}$$
Step 3: balance O atoms by adding $$H_2O$$ and then H by $$H^+$$
$$\overset {+6}{Cr_2}O_7^{2-} +14H^+ \rightarrow 2\overset {+3}{Cr^{3+}}+7H_2O$$
Step 4: overall reaction:
$$\overset {+6}{Cr_2}O_7^{2-} +14H^++3\overset {+2}{Sn^{2+}} \rightarrow 2\overset {+3}{Cr^{3+}}+3\overset {+4}{Sn^{4+}}+7H_2O$$
Thus 3 mole of $$Sn^{2+}$$will reduce 1 moles of $$K_2Cr_2O_7$$.
Therefore, 1 mole of $$Sn^{2+}$$will reduce $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$ moles of $$K_2Cr_2O_7$$.
The compound that cannot act both as oxidising and reducing agent is:
It is because of inability of $$ns^2$$ electrons of the valence shell to participate in bonding that:
In the reaction, $$8Al+3Fe_{3}O_{4}\rightarrow 4Al_{2}O_{3}+9Fe$$ the number of electrons transferred from the reductant to the oxidant is:
Fluorine reacts with ice and results as follows: H2O(s)+F2(g)→HF(g)+HOF(s) Justify that this reaction is a redox reaction.
The compound AgF2 is unstable compound. However, if formed, the compound acts as a very strong oxidising agent. Why ?
$$2S_2O^{2-}_3\,(aq)+I_2(s)\rightarrow S_4O^{2-}_6(aq)+2I^{-}(aq)$$ $$S_2O^{2-}_3(aq)+2Br_2(l)+5H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2SO^{2-}_4(aq)+4Br^{-}(aq)+10H^{+}(aq)$$ Why does the same reductant, thiosulphate react differently with iodine and bromine?
