Balance the following redox equations by the ion-electron method:? A) H2O2 + Fe 2+ ---> Fe 3+ + H2O (in the acidic solution) C) CN- + MnO4- ---> CNO- +MnO2 (in basic solution) E) S2O2/3- + I2 ---> I- + S4O2/6- (in acidic solution)
We balance the given reactions above by following the rules in balancing redox reactions in acidic or basic solutions. Balance the atoms aside from the O and H atoms. Then we balance the Os and Hs by adding H2O or H+. Finally, we balance the total charge of the reactant and product by adding e-. We do as follows:
