Question:

Balance each of the following skeletal equations by using oxidation and reduction half-reactions. All the reactions take place in acidic solution. Identify the oxidizing agent and reducing agent in each reaction.

(a) Reaction of the selenite ion with chlorate ion:SeO3(aq) + ClO3- (aq) Seo (aq) + Cl(g)

(b) Formation of propanone (acetone), which is used in nail polish remover, from isopropanol (rubbing alcohol) by the action of dichromate ion:C3HOH(aq) + CrO7- (aq) - Cr+ (aq) + C3HO(aq)

(c) Reaction of gold with selenic acid:Au(s) + SeO(aq) 3+ Au+ (aq) + SeO3-(aq)

(d) Preparation of stibine, SbH3, from antimonic acid:HSbO4(aq) + Zn(s) 2+ SbH, (aq) + Zn+ (aq)
