Balance this half-reaction: Re → ReO2 (acidic solution)

Chemistry

This redox reaction occurs in acidic solution, meaning that we need to add H+ and H2O to help balance it out (for comparison, balancing in basic solution would involve OH- and H2O instead).

Notice that the right side of the half reaction already has oxygen added to it, so we need to add the water to the other side. This way, the left side of the reaction would get enough oxygen to match the right side. Add enough water to the left to match the number of oxygens on the right.

2H2O + Re — ReO2

We now have two oxygens on each side, but the left has four more hydrogens than the right. Fix this by adding 4H+ to the right side of the equation.

2H2O + Re — ReO2 + 4H+

The number of each element matches the number of each on the other side; the only thing left is to balance the charges. The left side of the equation has a charge of 0, but the right has a charge of +4. We can fix this by adding four electrons to the right to cancel out the +4 charge.


2H2O + Re — ReO2 + 4H+ + 4e-

That’s the balanced equation.

Answer:

0.875 time.

Explanation:

The length of plastic water bottles are bought in the United States every day = (the no. of plastic water bottles are bought every day)(length of each bottle) = (140.0 million bottle)(0.25 m) = 35.0 million meter.

The length of the equator of the earth = 40.0 million meter.

∴ The times can the Earth's equator be circled by a line of plastic bottles used in the United States every day = (The length of plastic water bottles are bought in the United States every day)/(The length of the equator of the earth) = (35.0 million meter)/(40.0 million meter) = 0.875 times.
