In this activity, you will practice balancing overall redox reactions in acidic and basic solutions. to do this, you will apply the half-reaction method for balancing redox equations. you may reference this periodic table and these steps to complete the problems. record all of your solutions. part a nh4+ + mno4- → no3- + mn2+ (acidic solution) part b cr(oh)3 + clo3- → cro42- + cl- (basic solution)

Answer :

Now we have to balance the given redox reaction in acidic medium by half reaction method.

1st half reaction :

2nd half reaction :

For net balanced reaction, 1st half reaction is multiplying by 8 and 2nd half reaction is multiplying by 5

The net balanced redox reaction is,

Now we have to balance the given redox reaction in basic medium by half reaction method.

1st half reaction :

2nd half reaction :

For net balanced reaction, 1st half reaction is multiplying by 2.

The net balanced redox reaction is,

- decrease the number of plants and animals living in the water.

your answer would be “dry”
