Consider the following unbalanced net ionic redoxequation. VO 2 + +SO 3 -2 --->V

Question

Consider the following unbalanced net ionic redoxequation. VO2+ +SO3-2--->VO+ +SO4-2 (a) Name the oxidizing agent in this reaction. (b) Name the ion that is oxidized in this reaction. (c) Balance the net ionic redox equation in acidicsolution. Consider the following unbalanced net ionic redoxequation. VO2+ +SO3-2--->VO+ +SO4-2 (a) Name the oxidizing agent in this reaction. (b) Name the ion that is oxidized in this reaction. (c) Balance the net ionic redox equation in acidicsolution. (a) Name the oxidizing agent in this reaction. (b) Name the ion that is oxidized in this reaction. (c) Balance the net ionic redox equation in acidicsolution.

Explanation / Answer

(a) oxidising agent is the one causing oxidation of another, butitself being reduced. VO2+ is the oxidisingagent. (b) SO32- is oxidised (Oxidation number of Schange from +4 to +6) (c) VO2+ +SO3-2--->VO+ +SO4-2 (the ionicequation has already been balanced in this case) Hope this helps!
