We have to balance the equation in basic medium:
ClO₂⁻ → ClO₄⁻
Chlorine atoms are balanced 
we will balance oxygen atoms by adding water to the side with less oxygen
2 H₂O + ClO₂⁻ → ClO₄⁻
Now balance hydrogens by adding H⁺ first
2 H₂O + ClO₂⁻ → 4 H⁺ + ClO₄⁻
The charge will be balanced by adding electrons to side where positive charge is more
2 H₂O + ClO₂⁻ →  4 e + 4 H⁺ + ClO₄⁻
Now balance H⁺ by adding same number of OH⁻ in both sides
2 H₂O + ClO₂⁻ + 4OH⁻ →  4 e + 4 H⁺ + 4OH⁻ + ClO₄⁻
H⁺ will neutralize OH⁻ to give water
2 H₂O + ClO₂⁻ + 4 OH⁻ → 4 e + 4 H₂O + ClO₄⁻
Balanced half reaction will be:
ClO₂⁻ + 4 OH⁻ → 4 e + 2 H₂O + ClO₄⁻ → (1)
Now balance the second half (reduction):
Fe⁺³ → Fe⁺²
Balance charge by adding electrons:
e + Fe⁺³ → Fe⁺² → (2) Multiply by 4 and add the two equations to get:
ClO₂⁻ + 4 OH⁻ + 4 Fe⁺³  → 4 Fe⁺² + 2 H₂O + ClO₄⁻

What occurs along a convergent plate boundary ?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Two plates pull towards each other

Explanation:

Along a convergent plate boundary, two plates moves towards each other as the move in the same direction.

This results in different forms of plate interactions depending on the plate types.

  • At an ocean - ocean and continental - ocean convergent front, subduction of the oceanic plate occurs. This is because the oceanic plate below is denser than the asthenosphere.
  • At a continental - continental convergent front, the continental crust is pulls upward and build up as a mountain.
  • The subduction produces trenches and some volcanic islands.

<span>The answer is "D" where the number of collisions per unit area is reduced by one-half. Drawing back on the piston means the volume is increased. The pressure is reduced. There are fewer collisions when the pressure is reduced.</span>
