REDOX REACTIONS
Asked by raghavendran7 | 13 May, 2010, 07:55: PM
Expert Answer

There is no reaction in which only oxidation or reduction reaction is taking place.

These reactions will not be complete reactions as oxidation and reduction does not take place in isolation. They take place simultaneously and is called a redox reaction.

Example: Fe + Cu2+ Fe2+ + Cu

In this redox reaction, oxidation half reaction and reduction half reactions are taking place.

Oxidation half reaction: Fe  Fe2+ + 2e-

Reduction half reaction: Cu2+ + 2e- Cu

(i) Balance the following equations by oxidation number method: (1) Cu + HNO3 → Cu (NO3)2 + NO2 + H2O) (2) K2Cr2O7 + HCl → KCl + CrCl3 + H2O + Cl2 (ii) Give reasons for the following: (1) HNO3 acts only as an oxidising agent while HNO2 can act both as a reducing agent and an oxidising agent. (2) Chlorine liberates iodine from KI solution. How will you convert the following? (Give balanced equation.)
