Question

6. What are the two spectator ions present in this reaction? 05, and Na 7. Combine all the facts above (Questions 1,5, and 6) i. Write a molecular equation for the reaction between the copper (II) nitrate and sodiunm iodide (Hint: there will be three products and one of them is a precipitate Cul) ii. Write the two half reactions (Remember this is a redox reaction) ili. Balance each half reaction using half reaction method Write the balanced molecular equation between the copper (Il) nitrate and sodium iodide. iv. (30 pts)

Explanation / Answer

III)   half reaction method :

oxidation : 2I-(aq) -------------------> I2(g) + 2e-

reduction: Cu+2 (aq) + 2e- ----------------> Cu(s)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

overalll balanced reaction: Cu+2 (aq) + 2I-(aq) ------------> Cu(s) + I2(g)
