Write a balanced half-reaction describing the reduction of aqueous vanadium(V) cations to aqueous vanadium(I) cations.

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Explanation:

Reduction is a chemical reaction in which electrons are gained by one of the atoms taking part in the reaction and lowering of an oxidation state of that atom.

Reduction takes place at the cathode.

In aqueous, vanadium(V) is present in +5 oxidation state which on reduction changes to vanadium(I) with +1 oxidation state.

The half reaction is :

$V^{5+}(aq)+4e^- \rightarrow V^{1+}(aq)$

4Fe (s) + 3 O2 (g) → 2 Fe2O3 (s)

Novay_Z [31]

Explanation:

The number acquired by an element after the lose or gain of an electron is called oxidation number.

For example, $4Fe(s) + 3O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2Fe_{2}O_{3}(s)$

Here, oxidation number of Fe(s) is 0 and Fe in $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ is +3.

Oxidation number of O in $O_{2}(g)$ is 0 as it is present in its elemental state.

The oxidation number of O in $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ is calculated as follows.

$2(3) + 3x = 0\\6 + 3x = 0\\x = \frac{-6}{3}\\= -2$

Hence, oxidation number of O in $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ is -2.

The loss of electrons by an element or substance is called oxidation. Here, electrons are being lost by Fe(s) as an increase in oxidation state is occurring. So, Fe(s) is oxidized.

The gain of electrons by an element or substance is called reduction. Here, electrons are being added to $O_{2}$ as a decrease in its oxidation state is occurring. So, $O_{2}$ is reduced.

An element or compound which is being reduced is called oxidizing agent. Here, $O_{2}$ is the oxidizing agent.

An element or compound which is being oxidized is called reducing agent. Here, Fe(s) is the reducing agent.
