Question

Consider the redox reaction: 2NO₃^- + 10Cl^- + 12H⁺ → N₂ + 5Cl₂ + 6H₂O. Are the following half reactions correct? Oxidation: 2Cl^- → Cl₂ + 2e^-; Reduction: 2NO₃^- + 12H⁺ + 10e^- → N₂ + 6H₂O.

Accepted Answer

The half reactions are correctly identified.

Answer

The reduction half reaction is incorrect.

Answer

The oxidation half reaction is incorrect.

Answer

Both half reactions are incorrect.

Consider the redox reaction: 2NO3- + 10Cl- + 12H+ → N2 + 5Cl2 + 6H2O. Are the following half reactions correct? Oxidation: 2Cl- → Cl2 + 2e-; Reduction: 2NO3- + 12H+ + 10e- → N2 + 6H2O.
