Explanation / Answer

Solved the first four parts, post multiple question to get the remaining answers

1)

Oxidation Half

H2S(g) ------- > S(g) + 2H+ + 2e-

Reduction Half

NO3- (aq) + 4H+ + 3e- ------- NO(g) + 2H2O

Multiply the first reaction by 3 and second by 2 to cancel the e- we get

2NO3- (aq) + 3H2S + 2H+ ------- 2NO(g) + 4H2O + 3S(s)

2)

Oxidation Half

2Cl-(aq) ------ > Cl2(g) + 2e-

Reduction Half

MnO4-(aq) -+ 8H+ + 5e- ------- Mn(2+)(aq) + 4H2O

Multiply first reaction by 5 and second by 2 to cancel the electrons we get

10Cl- + 2MnO4- + 16H+ ---------- 2Mn(2+) + 8H2O + 5Cl2(g)

5)

Oxidation Half

Fe(2+) (aq) ------ > Fe(+3)(aq) + e-

Reduction Half

MnO4-(aq) -+ 8H+ + 5e- ------- Mn(2+)(aq) + 4H2O

Multiply first reaction by 5 and second by 1 to cancel the electrons we get

5Fe(2+) + MnO4- + 8H+ ---------- 5Fe(3+) + 4H2O + Mn(2+)(aq)

8)

Oxidation Half

Ag(s) ------ > Ag+(aq) + e-

Reduction Half

NiO2(s) + 4H+ + 2e- --------> Ni(2+)(aq) + 2H2O

Multiply first reaction by 2 and second by 1 to cancel the electrons we get

2Ag(s) + NiO2(s) + 4H+ ---------- Ni(2+) + 2Ag+(aq) + 2H2O
