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⁻

A reaction involved in the production of iron from iron ore is:
Serjik [45]

Answer:

a) 2.632 kg

b) 41.36 kg

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CO react = ?

Mass of Fe formed = 3.50 Kg (3.50 /1000 =3500 g)

Mass of CO₂ formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation;

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO     →   2Fe + 3CO₂

Number of moles of Fe:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles =  3500 g/55.85 g/mol

Number of moles = 62.67 mol

now we will compare the moles of iron with CO.

            Fe         :       CO

             2          :       3

          62.67     :        3/2×62.67 = 94 mol

Mass of CO:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 94 mol × 28 g/mol

Mass = 2632 g

In kilogram:

2632g × 1 Kg /1000 g

2.632 kg

Now we will compare the moles of Fe with CO₂

                 Fe         :           CO₂

                  2          :           3

               62.67     :        3/2×62.67 = 94 mol

Mass of CO₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 94 mol × 44 g/mol

Mass = 4136 g

In kilogram:

4136g × 1 Kg /1000 g

41.36 kg
