Can someone help me solve this? I was given the answer at the end of class but I don't understand how the teacher got it. (Direc

tions: Balance each redox reaction in acid solution using the half reaction method.)
PbO2+I2=>Pb^2+ +IO3^- = I2+8H^+ +5PbO2=>2IO3^- +5Pb^+2 +4H2O

Unbalanced chemical reaction: PbO₂ + I₂ → Pb²⁺ +IO₃⁻<span>.
First </span><span>determine oxidation numbers of elements:
1) lead on the left side of reaction has oxidation number +4 (x + 2</span>·(-2) = 0) and on the right side +2, so lead is reduced.
2) iodine has neutal charge (0) on left and oxidation number +5 on the right side of chemical reaction (x + 3 · (-2) = -1), so iodine is oxidized.
3) oxygen has oxidation number -2 on both side of chemical reaction.
Second, write balanced half reactions, because this reaction is acidic solution, add hydrogen ions on one side and water on another side of half reaction; balance atoms and electrons on both half reactions:
Half reaction 1: PbO₂ + 4H⁺ + 2e⁻ → Pb²⁺ + 2H₂O /×5
5PbO₂ + 20H⁺ + 10e⁻ → 5Pb²⁺ + 10H₂O.
Half reaction 2: I₂ + 6H₂O → 2IO₃⁻ + 12H⁺ + 10e⁻.
Sum both half reactions and short same ions: 
5PbO₂ + 20H⁺ + I₂ + 6H₂O → 5Pb²⁺ + 10H₂O + 2IO₃⁻ + 12H⁺.
Abbreviate reaction: 5PbO₂ + 8H⁺ + I₂  → 5Pb²⁺ + 4H₂O + 2IO₃⁻..

shutvik [7]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The chemical reaction equation will be as follows.

      HCl + NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H_{2}O

This means a new substance has been formed and a chemical change has taken place.

A chemical reaction in which heat energy is absorbed by the reactant molecules is known as an endothermic reaction.  

For example, A + B + Heat \rightarrow AB

On the other hand, a chemical reaction in which heat energy is released by the reactant molecules is known as an exothermic reaction.  

For example, C + D \rightarrow CD + Heat is an exothermic reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given situation the beaker most likely felt warm because a chemical reaction was producing a new substance.
