Balancing a redox reaction under basic conditions.

Show Transcript

okay this is mr. Mata again this is AP Chemistry and this is the third and final problem for the balancing redox reaction practice worksheet this one is under basic conditions so a little bit different than the first two which were acidic but the same idea on same set up pretty much so we're going to go and do the same thing break up the redox reaction to two half reactions so going to start off with the mno4 -1 which is the can a ion again that we saw in number one problem  so there's our mno4 ion pregnant ion and it changes to  manganese oxide and then second half we have the oxalate ion c2o 4-2 and that is becoming CO2 carbon dioxide so what's going to see what's happening with the electrons to looking for oxidation States here as we go through them  so let's take the I want to hear first again we've got our  manganese that's going to be the one changing here  so it's going to take over here Scott's again 2 elements in a good apps -1 again that's the dang it the CIA permanganate ion Sylvian auction typically is -2 there's four of them -8 when this case we have manganese with the charge of Sutton  over here again this is a stable compound not an ion switch overall net charge of zero so there's our oxygen -2 again so negative for therefore must be a plus for manganese to counter that and so again we basically have  a situation requiring from + 7 plus four and out process there are three electrons being gained  so this portion is going to be reduction part  let's go ahead and check the other half what should be ox for doing this correctly so let's go ahead and see what's happening charge wise here can we go to 204  the oxalate ion candy carbs and oxygen should add up their oxidation states to a negative 2 charge to hear again we've got oxygen -2 that's -8 that means the carbons should be a total charge of positive 6 to give us a negative 2 charge but we have two carbons there for each carbon must be a plus 3 charge CO2 again they going to add up to zero because it is neutral ochsner's - news Hudson negative for carbon must be positive for here  so now we have a situation we're going from + 3 to 4  that is going to give us the loss of a single electron  and of course that means that is going to be oxidized now one more thing I should be careful here because as we go through notice real quickly that the carbons we have two on the left and one on the right so we have to actually put it away fish enough to hear and we that actually having a second electron come through and so that's going to do  is that screen to give us two electrons they're being oxidized  spell to put two electrons in on the product side and then going back up will take the three electrons gain and we'll put the on the reactant side the real  can you get we got to take care of the oxygens here because unbalanced  just on deep permanganate ion so we have four over here on the the left Wrecking can we have two on the product side so we're going to the counter of the  different Sears going to add to Waters the product side and then of course we do that with no at for hydrogens as well we have to counter that and put for hydrogen ions on reactant side to counter that  and then we should be good to go from there so we can let's go to make sure we balance are electrons again we have three electrons for the reducing part two electrons for the oxidation part least common multiple of 2 and 3 of 6 so we're going to use values that will give us six electrons total so the top will multiply this by 2 and the bottom of x 3 now we can simply multiply through or factor the entire thing  and that should give us  Step Closer two final answer so what I'm lost for all the way through you got two times for hydrogens 8 hydrogen ions two times free electrons is 6 electrons two times the permanganate ion is to how many ions take care of the one reactant on the bottom there what you give us 3  oxalate ions go back to the top two times the mno2 and then two times two waters gives us four Waters Henry McComb on the bottom three times the two turn darkseid's gives a six carbon dioxide's and then three times the two electrons is six electrons sofritas correctly are electron should cancel talk to react inside which they do have one more thing we have to do here because these are basic conditions we want to make sure that we have water molecules outside and we do over here on the product side but noticed we have 8 hydrogen ions that we put over here on the left hand side so we also have to 8 hydroxide ions  and of course we have to add eight hydroxide ions to the other side we're doing it  once I have to for the other side as well  can we do that  when is it happening as we have these guys come can we have 8 water molecules supposed to be next to Elm now we can start canceling stuff out that doesn't fit anymore soap before water is here all go away on the left hand side at 8 becomes for and where we can sell the six electrons for each side  and basically that should be  seeds final equation so just write it out there so we've got four Waters chance of council 2 + 2 permanganate ions + 3 oxalate ions two Commando 2  + 8 hydroxide ions and last but not least six carbon oxides  so this would be our final answer for that problem so check your answers and see if they messed up see what you did right see what you need to work on and we'll have more of these as we go on but this is kind of first exposure to itself  just kind of work through it got to practice them to get better and we'll be more up to me for that  so that's it bouncing redox reaction practice worksheet session hope you got something out of it and seeing class tomorrow
