V1 = \(\frac{1.5 \times 0.112 \times 273}{400}\)
= 0.1147 lit
Chemical equation
2CO + O2 → 2CO2
2 moles of CO → 1 mole of O2 at STP
2 × 22.4 lit → 1 × 22.4 lit
? ← 0.1147 lit

Question 14.
Explain the role of redox reactions in titrimetre processes and galvanic cells.
Answer:
a) Redox reactions in titrimetric quantitative analysis : In titrimetric analysis the substance of known concentration is called the titrant and the substance being titrated is called the titrand. The standard solution is generally added from a long graduated tube called burette. The process of adding the standard solution until the reaction is just complete is called titration. The substance to be estimated is titrated. The point at which the titrand just completely reacts is called the equivalence point (or) the theoretical point (or) stoichiometric end point. In the redox reactions the completion of the titration is detected by a suitable method like

  1. Observing a physical change, for example, the light pink colour of KMnO4 titrations.
  2. By using a reagent known as indicator which gives a clear visual change like colour change, formation of turbidity etc. The point at wh’ch this is observed is called the end point of the titration which should coincide with theoretical end point.

Examples:

  1. In Cr2\(\mathrm{O}_7^{2-}\) titrations dippenyl amine is used as indicator and at the end poirtt it produces intense blue colour due to oxidation by Cr2\(\mathrm{O}_7^{2-}\).
  2. In the titration of Cu+2 with I
    2Cu2+ (aq) + 4I (aq) → Cu2I2 (s) + I2 (aq)
    A redox reaction I2 gives a deep blue colour with starch solution.
  3. In the titration of I2 (aq) S2\(\mathrm{O}_3^{-2}\) as per the stoichiometric reduce equation.
    In this way redox reactions are taken as the basis for titrimetric analysis with Mn\(\mathrm{O}_4^{-}\), Cr2\(\mathrm{O}_7^{-2}\) etc., as oxidising agents and S2\(\mathrm{O}_3^{-}\) etc., as a reducing agents,

b) Redox Reactions – Galvanic cells : Redox reaction (i.e) cell reaction that takes place in gavamic cell is
AP Inter 1st Year Chemistry Study Material Chapter 5 Stoichiometry 10
The process of transfer of electrons from Zn(s) to Cu+2 take place directly. To make this transfer indirectly, Zn rod is kept in ZnSO4 solution in one beaker and in the other beaker CuSO4 solution is taken and a copper rod is dipped in it. Now the redox reaction takes place in either of the beakers. Each beakers contains both oxidised and reduced forms of the respective species in the beakers containing CuSO4 solution & Cu rod at the interface Cu and Cu+2 and in the other beaker at the interface Zn and Zn+2. The two forms i.e., oxidised and reduced forms of a species participating in oxidation and reduction half reactions is called redox couple. Both the beakers contains each a redox couple. The oxidised form and reduced form are separated by a vertical line (or) a slash that represent an interface, e.g.: Zn (s) / Zn+2 (aq)

In the above arrangement, the two redox couples are represented by Zn+2 / Zn and Cu+2 / Cu.
halvamic cell is represented as : Zn/Zn2+//Cu+2/Cu.

In Ostwald’s process for the manufacture of nitric acid, the first step involves the oxidation of ammonia gas by oxygen gas to give nitric oxide gas and steam. What is the maximum weight of nitric oxide that can be obtained starting only with 10.00 g, of ammonia and 20.00 g of oxygen ?
Answer:
Chemical reaction is
4NH3 + 5O2 → 4NO + 6H2O
4 moles NH3 – 5 moles of O2
Given 10 gms of NH3
∴ No. of moles = \(\frac{10}{17}\) = 0.588 moles
Given 20 gms of NH3
∴ No. of moles = \(\frac{20}{32}\) = \(\frac{5}{8}\) = 0.4
4 moles of ammonia reacts with 5 moles of O2
0.588 moles of NH3 …. ?
\(\frac{0.588}{4}\) × 5 = 0.735 moles
5 moles of O2 reacts with 4 moles of NH3
0.4 moles of O2…. ?
\(\frac{0.4}{5}\) × 4 = \(\frac{1.6}{5}\) = 0.32

  • Here O2 is not present in sufficient amount NH3 has sufficient in amount

5 moles of O2 → 4 moles of NO.
5 × 32 gms of O2 → 4 × 30 gms of NO.
20 gms of O2 → ?
\(\frac{20 \times 4 \times 30}{5 \times 32}\) = \(\frac{20 \times 24}{32}\) = \(\frac{120}{8}\) = 15 gms

Question 7.
Exaplain the different types of redox reactions.
Answer:
Redox reaction : “The reaction that involves loss of electrons is called an oxidation reaction and that involving gain of electrons is called a reduction reaction. The overall reaction is called as oxidation – reduction reaction” or simply ‘redox reaction’.

Types of redox reactions:

a) Chemical combination reactions: In these reactions one species combine with another species to form product. In this conversion one species undergo oxidation and other species undergo reduction.
e.g.:
AP Inter 1st Year Chemistry Study Material Chapter 5 Stoichiometry 54
As the oxidation state of carbon increases from ‘0’ to ‘+4’ in the reaction. So, carbon undergoes oxidation.
Oxygen changes from ‘0’ to ‘-2’ oxidation state. So, it undergoes reduction. Therefore, the above overall combination reaction is redox reaction.

b) Decomposition reactions : Chemical compounds chemically split into two or more simpler substances during decomposition reactions. These are again redox reactions.
AP Inter 1st Year Chemistry Study Material Chapter 5 Stoichiometry 55
Here, water decomposes. H2 undergoes reduction from +1 to 0 in the reaction. Oxygen on the other hand changes its oxidation state from -2 to 0 (or) it undergoes oxidation.
Therefore, decomposition of H20 is a redox reaction.

c) Displacement reactions : In these reactions the place of one species in its compound is taken up by other species.
AP Inter 1st Year Chemistry Study Material Chapter 5 Stoichiometry 56
‘Zn’ displaces ‘Cu’ from CuSO4 solution. In this reaction Zn undergoes oxidation and Cu undergoes reduction. Therefore overall reaction is a redox reaction.

d) Disproportionation reactions : These reactions involve the same element in the given form to undergo both oxidation and reduction simultaneously.
AP Inter 1st Year Chemistry Study Material Chapter 5 Stoichiometry 57
In the above reaction ‘Cl2‘ undergoes both oxidation and reduction. It is a special type of redox reaction.

e) Comproportionation reactions : Reverse of disproportionation is comproportionation. In comproportionation reactions, two species with the same element in two different oxidation states form a single product in which the element is in an intermediate oxidation state.
e.g.:

iii) C + O2 → CO2
2 moles of ‘C’ burnt in 16 gms of O2

Given hydrogen = 1 × 103 gms
No. of moles = \(\frac{1000}{2}\) = 500 moles
N2 is limiting agent
∴28 gms of N2 → 2 × 17gms NH3
2000 gms of N2
\(\frac{2000 \times 17}{28}\) = 2428.57 gms

ii) Used amount of hydrogen
28 → 6 gms
100 gms → ?
\(\frac{1000 \times 6}{28}\) = 214.285 gms

Solved Problems

Question 1.
Calculate molecular mass of glucose (C6H12O6) molecule.
Solution:
Molecular mass of glucose (C6H12O6)
= 6(12.011 u) + 12(1.008 u) + 6(16.00.u)
= (72.066 u) + (12.096 u) + (96.00 u)
= 180.162 u

Question 2.
A compound contains 4.07% hydrogen, 24.27% carbon and 71.65% chlorine. Its molar mass is 98.96 g. What are its empirical and molecular formulae ?
Solution:
Step 1.
Conversion of mass per cent to grams :
Since we are having mass percent, it is convenient to use 100 g of the compound as the starting material. Thus, in the 100 g sample of the above compound, 4.07 g hydrogen; 24.27 g carbon; and 71.65 g chlorine are present.

Step 2.
Convertion into number of moles of each element:
Divide the masses obtained above by respective atomic masses of various elements.
Moles of hydrogen = \(\frac{4.07 \mathrm{~g}}{1.008 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}}\) = 4.04
Moles of carbon = \(\frac{24.27 \mathrm{~g}}{12.01 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}}\) = 2.021 Moles of chlorine = \(\frac{71.65 \mathrm{~g}}{35.453 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}}\) = 2.021

Step 3.
Divide the mole value obtained above by the smallest number:
Since 2.021 is smallest value, division by it gives a ratio of 2:1:1 for H:C:Cl.

In case the ratios are not whole numbers, then they may be converted into whole number by multiplying by the suitable coefficient.

Step 4.
These numbers indicate the relative number of atoms of the elements. Write empirical formula by mentioning the numbers after writing the symbols of respective elements :
CH2Cl is thus, the empirical formula of the above compound.

Step 5.
Writing molecular formula :

a) Determine empirical formula mass.
Add the atomic masses of various atoms present in the empirical formula.
For CH2Cl, empirical formula mass is 12.01 + 2 × 1.008 + 35.453 = 49.48 g

b) Divide Molar mass by empirical formula mass
AP Inter 1st Year Chemistry Study Material Chapter 5 Stoichiometry 59
= 2 = (n)

c) Multiply empirical formula by n obtained above to get the molecular formula.
Empirical formula = CH2Cl, n = 2. Hence molecular formula is C2H4Cl2.

AP Inter 1st Year Chemistry Study Material Chapter 5 Stoichiometry

Question 3.
Calculate the amount of water (g) produced by the combustion of 16 g of methane.
Solution:
The balanced equation for combustion of methane is :
CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

  1. 16 g of CH4 corresponds to one mole.
  2. From the above equation, 1 mol of CH4(g) gives 2 mol of H2O(g).
    2 mol of water (H2O) = 2 × (2 + 16)
    = 2 × 18 = 36 g

1 mol H2O = 18g H2O ⇒ \(\frac{18 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}}{1 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}}\) = 1
Hence 2 mol H2O × \(\frac{18 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}}{1 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}}\)
= 2 × 18 g H2O = 36 g H2O

Question 4.
How many moles of methane are required to produce 22 g CO2(g) after combustion ?
Solution:
According to the chemical equation
CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
44 g CO2 (g) is obtained from 16 g CH4(g).
[∵ 1 mol CO2(g) is obtained from 1 mol of CH4(g)]
Mole of CO2(g)
= 22 g CO2(g) × \(\frac{1 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{~g})}{44 \mathrm{gCO}_2(\mathrm{~g})}\)
= 0.5 mol CO2(g)
Hence 0.5 mol CO2(g) would be obtained from 0.5 mol CH4(g) or 0.5 mol of CH4(g) would be required to produce 22g CO2(g).

Question 5.
50.0 kg of N2(g) anfd 10.0 kg of H2(g) are mixed to produce NH3(g). Calculate the NH3 (g) formed. Identify the limiting reagent in the production of NH3 in this situation.
Solution:
A balanced equation for the above reaction is written as follows :
Calculation of moles:
N2 + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2HN3(g)
Moles of N2
AP Inter 1st Year Chemistry Study Material Chapter 5 Stoichiometry 60

According to the above equation, 1 mol N2(g) requires 3 mol H2(g), for the reaction. Hence, for 17.86 × 102 mol N2, the moles of H2(g) required would be
17.86 × 102 mol N2 × \(\frac{3 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g})}{1 \mathrm{molN}_2(\mathrm{~g})}\)
= 5.36 × 103 mol H2

But we have only 4.96 × 103 mol H2. Hence, dihydrogen is the limiting reagent in
this case. So NH3(g) would be formed only from that amount of available dihydrogen i.e.,
4.96 × 103 mol.
Since 3 mol H2(g) gives 2 mol NH3(g)
4.96 × 103 mol H2 (g) × \(\frac{2 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{NH}_3(\mathrm{~g})}{3 \mathrm{molH}_2(\mathrm{~g})}\)
= 3.30 × 103 mol NH3 (g)
3.30 × 103 mol NH3 (g) is obtained.

If they are to be converted to grams, it is done as follows :
1 mol NH3(g) = 17.0 g NH3(g)
3.30 × 103 mol NH3 (g) × \(\frac{17.0 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{NH}_3(\mathrm{~g})}{1 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{NH}_3(\mathrm{~g})}\)
= 3.30 × 103 × 17 g NH3 (g)
= 56.1 × 103 g NH3 (g)
= 56.1 kg NH3

Question 8.
The density of 3 M solution of NaCl is 1.25 g mL-1. Calculate molality of the solution.
Solution:
M = 3 mol L-1
Mass of NaCl in 1 L solution
= 3 × 58.5 = 175.5 g
Mass of
1 L solution = 1000 × 1.25 = 1250 g
(Since density = 1.25 gmL-1)
Mass of water of solution = 1250 – 175.5
= 1074.5 g = 1.0745 kg
AP Inter 1st Year Chemistry Study Material Chapter 5 Stoichiometry 63

Often in a chemistry laboratory, a solution of a desired concentration is prepared by diluting a solution of known higher concentration. The solution of higher concentration is also known as stock solution. Note that molality of a solution does not change with temperature since mass remains unaffeoted with temperature.

Question 9.
Calculte the normality of oxalic acid solutions containing 6.3g of H2C2O4.2H2O in 500 ml of solutions.
Solution:
Weight of solute = 6.3 g
GEW of solute = \(\frac{126}{2}\) = 63
∴ Normality (N) = \(\frac{\omega}{\mathrm{GEW}} \times \frac{1000}{\mathrm{~V}(\mathrm{~mL})}\)
Normality (N) = \(\frac{6.3}{63} \times \frac{1000}{500}\) = 0.2 N

Question 10.
Calculate the mass of Na2CO3 required to prepare 250 ml of 0.5 N solution.
Solution:
Normality of required solution = 0.5 N
Volume of required solution = 250 ml
Equivalent wt.of. Na2CO3 = \(\frac{106}{2}\) = 53
Normality (N) = \(\frac{\mathrm{W}}{\mathrm{GEW}} \times \frac{1000}{\mathrm{~V}(\mathrm{~mL})}\)
wt. of solute = N × GEW × \(\frac{V(\mathrm{ml})}{1000}\)
= 0.5 × 53 × \(\frac{250}{1000}\) = \(\frac{53}{8}\) = 6.62 g

Question 11.
In the reactions given below, identify the species undergoing oxidation and reduction :
(i) H2S (g) + Cl2 (g) → 2HC (g) + S (s)
(ii) 3Fe3O4 (s) + 8Al (s) → 9Fe (s) + 4Al2O3 (s)
(iii) 2Na (s) + H2 (g) → 2NaH (s)
Solution:
(i) H2S is oxidised because a more electronegative element, chlorine is added to hydrogen (or a more electropositive element, hydrogen has been removed from S). Chlorine is reduced due to addition of hydrogen to it.

(ii) Aluminium is oxidised because oxygen is added to it. Ferrous ferric oxide (Fe3O4) is reduced because oxygen has been removed from it.

(iii) This reaction is very interesting. It may be said from the above definitions that the reaction is only a reduction reaction as it involves the addition of sodium (electropositive metal) or hydrogen whereas sodium undergoes oxidation and hydrogen undergoes reduction. It is to say that the above definitions for oxidation and reduction can not explain this and they have limitations like this. Therefore a new concept has to be considered for the oxidation and the reduction.

Question 12.
Justify that the reaction :
2Na (s) + H2 (g) → 2NaH (s) is a redox change.
Solution:
Since in the above reaction the compound formed is an ionic compound, which may also be represented as Na+H (s), this suggests that one half reaction in this process is :
2Na (s) → 2Na+ (g) + 2e and the other half reaction is H2 (g) + 2e→ 2H (g)
This splitting of the reaction under examination into two half reactions automatically reveals that here sodium is oxidised and hydrogen is reduced, therefore, the complete reaction is a redox change.

Question 13.
Using stock notation, represent the following compounds : HAuCl4, Tl2O, FeO, Fe2O3, Cul, CuO, MnO and MnO2.
Solution:
By applying various rules of calculating the oxidation number of the desired element in a compound, the oxidation number of each metallic element in its compound is as follows:
HAuCl4 → Au has 3
Tl2O → Tl has 1
FeO → Fe has 2
Fe2O3 → Fe has 3
Cul → Cu has 1
CuO → Cu has 2
MnO → Mn has 2
MnO2 → Mn has 4
Therefore, these compounds may be represented as :
HAu (III) Cl4, Tl2(I)O, Fe(II)O, Fe2(III)O3, Cu(I)I, Cu(II)O, Mn(II)O, Mn(IV)O2.

Question 14.
Justify that the reaction :
2Cu2O(S) + Cu2S(s) → 6Cu(s) + SO2(g) is a redox reaction. Identify the species oxidised/reduced, which acts as an oxidant and which acts as a reductant.
Solution:
Let us assign oxidation number to each of the species in the reaction under examination. This results into :
AP Inter 1st Year Chemistry Study Material Chapter 5 Stoichiometry 64
We therefore, conclude that in this reaction copper is reduced from +1 state to zero oxidation state and sulphur is oxidised from -2 state to +4 state. The above reaction is thus a redox reaction.

Further, Cu2O helps sulphur in Cu2S to increase its oxidation number, therefore Cu (I) is an oxidant; and sulphur of Cu2S helps copper both in Cu2S itself and Cu2O to decrease its oxidation number ; therefore, sulphur of Cu2S is reductant.

Question 15.
Which of the following species, do not show disproportionation reaction and why ? ClO, Cl\(\mathrm{O}_2^{-}\), ClO3 and ClO4. Also write reaction for each of the species that disproportionates.
Solution:
Among the oxoanions of chlorine listed above, ClO4 does not disproportionate because in this oxoanion chlorine is present in its highest oxidation state that is, +7. The disproportionation reactions for the other three oxoanions of chlorine areas follows :

Question 16.
Suggest a scheme of classification of
the following redox reactions
(a) N2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2NO (g)
(b) 2Pb(NO3)2(s) → 2PbO(s) + 2NO2(g) + 1/2 O2(g)
(c) NaH(s) + H2O (l) → NaOH (aq) + H2(g)
(d) 2NO2(g) + 2OH(aq) → N\(\mathrm{O}_2^{-}\) (aq) + N\(\mathrm{O}_3^{-}\) (aq) + H2O(l)
Solution:
In reaction
(a) the compound nitric oxide is formed by the combination of the elemental substances, nitrogen and oxygen ; therefore, this is an example of combination redox reactions. The reaction.

(b) involves the breaking down of lead nitrate into three components, therefore, this is categorised under decomposition redox reaction. In reaction.

(c) hydrogen of water has been displaced by hydride ion into dihydrogen gas. There-fore, this may be called as displacement redox reaction.

(d) The reaction involves disproportionation of NO2 (+4 state) into NO2 (+3 state) and NO3 (+5 state). Therefore reaction (d) is an example of disproportionation redox reaction.

Question 17.
Why do the following reactiolns proceed differently ?
Pb3O4 + 8HCl → 3PbCl2 + Cl2 + 4H2O and
Pb3O4 + 4HNO3 → 2Pb(NO3)3 + PbO2 + 2H2O
Solution:
Pb3O4 is actually a stoichiometric mixture of 2 mol. of PbO and 1 mol. of PbO2. In PbO2, lead is present in +4 oxidation state, whereas the stable oxidation state of lead in PbO is +2. PbO2 thus can act as an oxidant (oxidising agent) and, therefore, can oxidise Cl ion of HCl into chlorine. We may also keep in mind that PbO is a basic oxide. Therefore, the reaction
Pb3O4 + 8HCl → 3PbCl2 + Cl2 + 4H2O can be splitted into two reactions namely :
2 PbO + 4HCl → 2PbCl2 + 2H2O (acid base reaction)

Cr2\(\mathrm{O}_7^{2-}\) (aq) + S\(\mathrm{O}_3^{-2}\) (aq) → Cr3+ (aq) + S\(\mathrm{O}_4^{2-}\) (aq)

Step – 2 :
Assign oxidation numbers for Cr and S
AP Inter 1st Year Chemistry Study Material Chapter 5 Stoichiometry 67
This indicates that the dichromate ion is the oxidant (it oxidises sulphite ion to sulphate ion) and the sulphite ion is the reductant. (it reduces dichromate ion to chromium (III).

Step – 3 :
Calculate the increase and decrease of oxidation numbers of respective species and make them equal.
AP Inter 1st Year Chemistry Study Material Chapter 5 Stoichiometry 68
As reduction is total 6 units due to two Cr3+ formed, oxidation also must be 6 units. This is obtained by multiplying S\(\mathrm{O}_3^{-2}\) with 3.

Mn\(\mathrm{O}_4^{-}\) (aq) + Br (aq) → MnO2 (s) + Br\(\mathrm{O}_3^{-}\) (aq)

Step – 2 : Assign oxidation numbers for Mn and Br.
AP Inter 1st Year Chemistry Study Material Chapter 5 Stoichiometry 71
This indicates that permanganate ion is the oxidant and bromide ion is the reductant.

Step – 3 :
Calculate the increase or decrease in the oxidation number per atom and for the entire molecule/ion in which it occurs. The number units of oxidations change must be equal to the number units of reduction change. If this is not observed then multiply the oxidising agent with the number of units of oxidation and the reducing agent with the number of units of reduction i.e., multiply oxidant MnO4 by 2 and reductant Br by I.
AP Inter 1st Year Chemistry Study Material Chapter 5 Stoichiometry 72
Know number of units oxidation number of units reduction.

Step – 4:
Adjust the coefficients of products accordingly.
2Mn\(\mathrm{O}_4^{-}\) (aq) + Br (aq) → 2MnO2 (s) + BrO3 (aq)

Step – 5 :
a) Add H+ ions in acid medium or H2O molecules in basic medium in the required number to hydrogen atoms deficient side.
b) Add H2O molecules in acid medium or OH ions in basic medium in the required number to oxygen atoms dificient side, (a) and (b) may be repeated any number of times by hit and trial method until hydrogen and oxygen atoms are same in number on both the sides of the redox reaction. This reaction is basic medium.
2Mn\(\mathrm{O}_4^{-}\) (aq) + Br (aq) + H2O (I)

  • 2MnO2 (s) + Br\(\mathrm{O}_3^{-}\) (aq) + 2OH (aq)

Question 20.
Permanganate (VII) ion, MnO4 in basic solution oxidises iodide ion. I to produce molecular iodine (I2) and manganese (IV) oxide (MnO2). Write a balanced ionic equation to represent this redox reaction.
Solution:
Step – 1 :
First we write the skeletal ionic equation, which is
Mn\(\mathrm{O}_4^{-}\) (aq) + I (aq) → MnO2 (s) + I2 (s)

Step – 2 :
The two half-reactions are :
-1        0
Oxidation half :
AP Inter 1st Year Chemistry Study Material Chapter 5 Stoichiometry 73
Reduction half : Mn\(\mathrm{O}_4^{-}\) (aq) → MnO2 (s)

Step – 3 :
To balance the I atoms in the oxidation half reaction, we rewrite it as:
2I (aq) → I2 (s)

Step – 4:
As the reaction takes place to basic medium, to balance the 0 atoms in the reduction half reaction, we add OH ions in required number.
Mn\(\mathrm{O}_4^{-}\) (aq) → MnO2 (s) + 2HO (I)
To balance the H atoms, we add two H2O molecules on the left.
Mn\(\mathrm{O}_4^{-}\) (aq) + 2H2O (aq) → MnO2 (s) + 2 HO (I)
Balance H and 0 atoms by bit and trial method even if it requires morethan once we haye to do it.
The resultant equation is :
Mn\(\mathrm{O}_4^{-}\) (aq) + 2H2O (I) → MnO2 (s) + 4OH (aq)
Note : While balanceing H atom 0 atoms do not disturb the coefficients of other species (oxidant and reduCtant and the products).

Step-5 :
In this step we balance the charges of the two half-reactions in the manner depicted as:
2I (aq) → I2 (s) + 2e
Mn\(\mathrm{O}_4^{-}\) (aq) + 2H2O (I) + 3e → MnO2 (s) + 4OH (aq)

Now to equalise the number of electrons, in the two half reactions we multiply the oxidation hatf-reaction by 3 and the reduction half-reaction by 2.
6I (aq) → 3I2 (s) + 6e
2MnO4 (aq) + 4H4O (I) + 6e → 2MnO2 (s) + 8OH(aq)

Step-6:
Add two half-reactions to obtain the net reaction and canceel the electrons on both sides.
6I (aq) + 2Mn\(\mathrm{O}_4^{-}\) (aq) + 4H2O (I) → 3I2 (s) + 2MnO2 (s) + 8 OH (aq)

Step – 7:
A final verification shows that the equation is balanced in respect of the number of atoms and charges on both sides.
