Balancing redox reactions:

Oxygen should be balanced by adding H_{2}O  as needed, while hydrogen should be balanced by adding H^{+}.

What is a redox reaction?

Redox reactions, also known as oxidation-reduction reactions, involve the simultaneous oxidation and reduction of two different reactants.

The Half-Equation Method is one technique used to balance redox processes. The equation is divided into two half-equations using this technique: one for oxidation and one for reduction.

By changing the coefficients and adding H_{2}O, H^{+}, and e^{-} in that order, each reaction is brought into equilibrium:

  1. By putting the right number of water (H_{2}O) molecules on the other side of the equation, the oxygen atoms are brought into balance.
  2. By adding H^{+} ions to the opposing side of the equation, one can balance the hydrogen atoms (including those added in step 2 to balance the oxygen atom).
  3. Total the fees for each side. Add enough electrons (e^{-}) to the more positive side to make them equal. (As a general rule, e^{-} and  H^{+}are nearly always on the same side.)
  4. The e^{-} on either side must be made equal; if not, they must be multiplied by the lowest common multiple (LCM) in order to make them equal.
  5. One balanced equation is created by adding the two half-equations and canceling out the electrons. Additionally, common terms should be eliminated.
  6. Now that the equation has been verified, it can be balanced.

It starts at the bottom and then it goes up into the air as evaporation and that’s when the air gets cooler so gas is cooler and the liquid would be hotter

diagram 1 above shows equimolar samples of two gases inside a container fitted with a removable barrier placed so that each gas
vampirchik [111]

This problem is describing the state two gases have when separated and together as shown on the attached picture. First of all, diagram 1 shows how they are separated in two containers with apparently equal volumes, whereas diagram 2 shows the removal of the barrier so that they get mixed together.

In this case, we can analyze that each gas has its own pressure and due to the removal of the barrier, both pressure and volume undergo a change. Thus, we can infer that the final volume is doubled with respected to the initial one for each gas, causing the pressure of each gas to be halved and the total pressure the half of the added ones, in agreement to the Boyle's law (inversely proportional relationship between pressure and temperature).

Therefore, the correct choice is:

C. The partial pressure of each gas in the mixture is half its initial pressure; the final total pressure is half the sum of the initial pressures of the two gases.
