Answer:
- <em>Oxidation half-reaction</em>:
Fe²⁺(aq) → Fe³⁺(aq) + 1e⁻
- <em>Reduction half-reaction</em>:
Ce⁴⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ → Ce³⁺(aq)
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- Fe²⁺(aq) + Ce⁴⁺(aq) → Fe³⁺(aq) + Ce³⁺(aq)
The <em>oxidation half-reaction</em> is:
- Fe²⁺(aq) → Fe³⁺(aq) + 1e⁻
It is an oxidation because the oxidation state of Fe increases from 2+ to 3+.
The <em>reduction half-reaction</em> is:
- Ce⁴⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ → Ce³⁺(aq)
It is a reduction because the oxidation state of Ce decreases from 4+ to 3+.
Hello!
If a reaction occurs when a piece of metal is placed in a solution, you can conclude that the solution is <span>probably acidic because bases rarely react with metals.
Strong Acids, like HCl, react with metals to produce salts and release gaseous hydrogen (H</span>₂) which is evidenced by the generation of bubbles in the solution. The general chemical equation for this kind of reactions for a metal M and an acid HA is:
2M(s) + 2HA(aq) → 2MA(aq) + H₂(g)
