Question

Balance each of the following redox reactions occurring in basic solution.
H2O2+ClO2-->ClO2- +O2

Answer 1

in basic media we balance by adding the OH- to the right and then balance with water (H2O) to the left
H2O2+ClO2 + 2H2O------->ClO2- +O2 + 6 OH-
to balance for charge we add 7electrons to the left
H2O2+ClO2 + 2H2O + 7e- ------->ClO2- +O2 + 6 OH-

Answer 2

O is not balanced!

Answer 3

sure let me work it out

Answer 4

Hi heena could u check the balancing of the equation pliz

Answer 5

There appears to be something wrong with the reaction ClO 2- is not possible as no element will exist in 0 oxidation state in a compound.
And ClO2 can't give ClO2 -

Answer 6

So can you help balancing the equation??

Answer 7

Could you post the equation more graphically... i don't completely understand...

Answer 8

The question asked is what i have posted..

Answer 9

I'm asking you to draw the compound i know how to balance reactions but something is wrong the same compound is in both reactant and products
