Water molecules move througout the solute
Answer:
O.
Explanation:
- The element which is oxidized is the element that losses electrons and its oxidation state be more positive.
- The element which is reduced is the element that gain electrons and its oxidation state be more negative.
<em> O goes from 0 to -2, so, it is the element that is reduced.</em>
8 moles of water on the right side.
An oxidation-reduction or redox reaction is a reaction that involves the transfer of electrons between chemical items (the atoms, ions, or molecules involved in the reaction).
Redox reactions: the burning of fuels, the corrosion of metals, and even the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration involve oxidation and reduction.
Step 1:
MnO4- ----> Mn2+
2Cl- ------> Cl2
Step 2:
MnO4- --> Mn2+ + 4H2O
2Cl- -----> Cl2
Step 3:
8H+ + MnO4- ------> Mn2+ + 4H2O
2Cl- ----->Cl2
Step 4:
8H+ + MnO4- +5e- ------>Mn2+ + 4H2O
2Cl- ----> Cl2+ 2e-
Step 5:
16 H+ +2 MnO4- +10Cl- ----->2 Mn2+ + 8H2O+5Cl2
This is the balanced equation in an acidic medium.
That is 8, right side.
