Half-equations and balancing redox equations

Many rechargeable batteries use an alkaline electrolyte. In the nickel-cadmium cell, cadmium, $\ce{Cd}$, is the anode. $\ce{Cd(OH)2(s) + 2e- -> Cd(s) + 2OH-(aq)}$ $\ce{NiO(OH)(s) + H2O(l) + e- -> Ni(OH)2(s) + OH-(aq)}$ Deduce the overall reaction for the cell.

Energy can also be produced by a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell with an acidic electrolyte. (i) Deduce the half-equations for the electrode reactions in this fuel cell. (ii) Hydrogen produces a line emission spectrum with several lines in the visible region.…

A student proposed that, because tin(IV) iodide might be ionic, electrolysing the molten compound with inert electrodes should regenerate tin and iodine. (i) Label the diagram of the electrolytic cell to show which electrode is the anode and which is the…

In the first step, manganese(III) ions formed from the manganate(VII) are complexed by ethanedioate ions. $\ce{[Mn(H2O)6]^3+(aq) + 2C2O4^2-(aq) -> [Mn(C2O4)2(H2O)2]^-(aq) + 4H2O(l)}$ (i) Adding a small amount of manganese(II) sulfate, $\ce{MnSO4(s)}$, at the…

Sodium ions are produced at the anode from the sodium atoms stored in the hard carbon. (i) State the half-equation for the reaction occurring at the anode while the battery discharges. (ii) The battery is rechargeable. Annotate the diagram below to show the…

Which half-equation represents the reduction of sulfuric acid to sulfur dioxide in acidic solution? A. $\ce{H2SO4 + 2H+ + 2e- -> SO2 + 2H2O}$ B. $\ce{H2SO4 + 4H+ + 4e- -> SO2 + 2H2O}$ C. $\ce{H2SO4 + 2H2O -> SO2 + 6H+ + 2e-}$ D.…

In a redox titration, dichromate(VI) ions are reduced to chromium(III) ions and iron(II) ions are oxidized to iron(III) ions. $\ce{Cr2O7^2-(aq)}$ reduced to $\ce{Cr^3+(aq)}$ $\ce{Fe^2+(aq)}$ oxidized to $\ce{Fe^3+(aq)}$ What volume, in $\mathrm{cm^3}$, of…
