Balance the following skeleton reactions and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents:(b) Mn²⁺(aq) + BiO₃⁻(aq) → MnO₄⁻(aq) + B
1 answer:
The balanced skeleton reactions are given below
2Mn²⁺(aq) +5BiO₃⁻(aq) + 14(aq) → 2MnO₄⁻(aq) + 5Bi³⁺(aq) + 7
(l)
The oxidising agent and reducing agents are Bi and Mn.
There are following steps involve in balance redox reaction in acidic medium .
- First divide the reaction into two half reactions .
- Balance the elements other than oxygen and hydrogen atom.
- Balance the oxygen atom by adding
on that side where number of oxygen atom is less .
- Balance the hydrogen atom by adding
on another side of in which water attached .
- Balance the charge by adding
.
- Add the two half reaction .
The species which reduces the other species in the redox reaction is called oxidizing agent . Similarly , the species which oxidize the other species in the redox reaction is called reducing agent .

Silicon is the element having a mass of 28.09 g
<u>Explanation</u>:
- Silicon is the element having an atomic mass of 28.09 g / mol. So 28.09 g of silicon contains 6.023
10^23 atoms. One mole of each element can produce one mole of compound.
- The Atomic weight of an element can be determined by the number of protons and neutrons present in one atom of that element. So atomic weight expressed in grams always contain the same number of atoms( 6.023
- Avagadro number is the number of atoms of 1 mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure. It has been determined that 6.023
