For each of the following equations
a) what species is oxidized
b) what species is reduced
c) what is the oxidizing agent
d) what is the reducing agent
EQUATION 1
ClO- + 2 H+ + 2e- --> Cl- + H2O
2 I- --> I2 + 2 e
_________________________________
ClO- + 2 H+ + 2 I- --> Cl- + I2 + H2O
EQUATION 2
2 S2O3 2- --> S4O6 2- + 2 e
I2 + 2 e- --> 2 I-
_________________________________
2 S2O3 2- + I2 --> S4O6 2- + 2 I
EQUATION 3
ClO- + 2 H+ + 2 I- --> Cl- + I2 + H2O
2 S2O3 2- + I2 --> S4O6 2- + 2 I
______________________________________
ClO- + 2 H+ + 2 S2O3 2- --> Cl- + H2O + S4O6 2-
EQUATION 1
ClO- + 2 H+ + 2e- --> Cl- + H2O; ClO- is being reduced ... H+ is the reducing agent
2 I- --> I2 + 2 e ; I-2 is being oxidized ... ClO- is the oxidiziung agent
EQUATION 2
2 S2O3 2- --> S4O6 2- + 2 e; S2O3 2- this is being oxidized; it is the reducing agent
I2 + 2 e- --> 2 I-; I2 is being reducied, it is the oxidizing agent
EQUATION 3
ClO- + 2 H+ + 2 I- --> Cl- + I2 + H2O ; ClO- is being reduced, ; it acts as oxidizing agents
2 S2O3 2- + I2 --> S4O6 2- + 2 I; S2O3-2 is being oxidized, it acts a the reducing agent
