Question

Balance the following redox reactions by ion-electron method.

$H_{2} O_{2} (a q) + F e^{2 +} (a q) \to F e^{3 +} (a q) + H_{2} O (l)$ (in acidic solution)

Open in App

Solution

The oxidation half reaction is $F e^{2 +} (a q) \to F e^{3 +} (a q) + e^{-}$ .

The reduction half reaction is $H_{2} O_{2} (a q) + 2 H^{+} (a q) + 2 e^{-} \to 2 H_{2} O (l)$ .

In the above half-reactions, all the atoms are balanced.

The oxidation half-reaction is multiplied by 2 so as to balance the number of electrons in oxidation half-reaction with reduction half-reaction.

$2 F e^{2 +} (a q) \to 2 F e^{3 +} (a q) + 2 e^{-}$ .

The oxidation half-reaction is then added to the reduction half-reaction to obtain a balanced chemical equation.

$H_{2} O_{2} (a q) + 2 F e^{2 +} (a q) + 2 H^{+} \to 2 F e^{3 +} (a q) + 2 H_{2} O (l)$
