Answer:

Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2 KI (aq) ---> CuI₂ (s) + 2 KNO₃

Explanation:

When writing the reaction with the symbols, you need to take into account the charges of the ions. If he charges on the ions do not balance out in a molecule, they need to be made up for in the form of subscripts. For example, copper (+2) and iodine (-1) have charges which do not balance. Thus, to make the molecule neutral, you need to have two iodine atoms (CuI₂).

The unbalanced equation:

Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) + KI (aq) ---> CuI₂ (s) + KNO₃

Reactants: 1 copper, 2 nitrate, 1 potassium, 1 iodine

Products: 1 copper, 1 nitrate, 1 potassium, 2 iodine

The balanced equation:

1 Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2 KI (aq) ---> 1 CuI₂ (s) + 2 KNO₃

Reactants: 1 copper, 2 nitrate, 2 potassium, 2 iodine

Products: 1 copper, 2 nitrate, 2 potassium, 2 iodine

Consider the following reaction and select the false statement below.

aalyn [17]

Answer: The correct answer is Option E.

Explanation:

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the species increases.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the species decreases.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

Oxidizing agents are the agents that oxidizes the other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Reducing agents are the agents that reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

For the given chemical reaction:

$10I^-(aq.)+16H^+(aq.)+2MnO_4^-(aq.)\rightarrow 5I_2(s)+2Mn^{2+}(aq.)+8H_2O(l)$

The half reaction follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $2I^-\rightarrow I_2+2e^-$ ( × 5)

Reduction half reaction: $MnO_4^-(aq.)+8H^+(aq.)+5e^-\rightarrow Mn^{2+}(aq.)+4H_2O$ ( × 2)

As, iodine ion is getting oxidized. So, it is considered as a reducing agent and permanganate ion is considered as an oxidizing agent.

Electrons in a redox reaction is transferred from the substance getting oxidized (reducing agent) to the substance getting reduced (oxidizing agent)

Hence, the correct answer is Option E.
