    LECTURE 25

    1. Determine the oxidation number of the underlined element in each of the following
    compounds or ions:

    (a) HCl
    (b) NH4+
    (c) NaH
    (d) NaAlH4
    (e) FeCl42-
    (f) ICl3
    (g) SO42-
    (h) Cu(OH)2

    2. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a harmful and reactive byproduct of metabolism. To


    prevent H2O2 from causing oxidative damage to cells, the enzyme catalase catalyzes the
    conversion of H2O2 to much less reactive molecules, oxygen and water.
    2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2
    Using oxidation numbers, determine if H2O2 is reduced and/or oxidized in this reaction.

    3. Using half-reactions, balance the following equations in acidic solution. Determine


    which atom or compound is the oxidizing agent and which is the reducing agent in each
    reaction.

    (a) Cr2O7-2 (aq) + C2H6O (aq) à Cr+3 (aq) + C2H4O (aq)

    (b) MnO4- (aq) + H2O2 (aq) à Mn2+ (aq) + O2 (g)

    4. Using half-reactions, balance the following equations in basic solution. Determine


    which atom or compound is the oxidizing agent and which is the reducing agent in each
    reaction.

    (a) CO2 (g) + F2 (g) à FO3- (aq) + C2O4-2 (aq)

    (b) Cr(OH)3 (aq) + Br2 (l) à CrO4-2 (aq) + Br- (aq)

    5. In some alkaline batteries, a solid zinc electrode in a basic solution is oxidized to ZnO
    while solid manganese (IV) oxide is reduced to solid manganese (III) oxide.
    (a) Write the half-reactions for both the anode and cathode of the cell, as well as the
    overall reaction.
    (b) Calculate the mass in kg of ZnO(s) formed if 1.0 x 104 A are passed through the
    cell for 12 hours.

    6. A jeweler is investigating a novel method for electroplating tungsten onto base metal.
    The jeweler passes a 30.0 A current through a solution for 1.00 hours and 100. g of
    tungsten is deposited on the ring. What is the oxidation number of tungsten in the
    solution?
