Oxidation and Reduction Equations
Not what you're looking for?
Hey. I don't know how to anser this question. It's 20.22 in Chemistry: The Central Science 11E.
Complete and balance the following equations, and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents. Recall that the O atoms in hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, have an atypical oxidation state.
b) S (s) + HNO3 (aq) --> H2SO3 (aq) + N2O (g) (acidic solution)
e) NO2 - (aq) + Al (s) --> NH4 + (aq) + AlO2 - (aq) (basic solution)
Could you please show work? And no powerpoints please!

First one...
The obvious balancing issue here is with the nitrogen (N). One on the left and 2 on the right... This is simply solved in this instance by balancing with 2 moles of HNO3.
Nitric acid is the oxidising agent in this case. It is a very strong acid, so in ...
