First, formulate the half-reactions. Let's take the reaction involving Mn. Determine the oxidation number of Mn to determine the number of electrons in the reaction.For MnO₂: x + 2(-2) = 0 --> x = +4For MnO₄⁻: x + 4(-2) = -1 --> x = +7Thus,MnO₂ --> MnO₄⁻ + 3e⁻For Cu₂: 0For Cu²⁺: 2⁺Thus,Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ --> CuNow, to eliminate the electrons, multiply the first reaction with 2 and the second half-reaction with 3. 2 MnO₂ --> 2 MnO₄⁻ + 6e⁻3Cu²⁺ + 6e⁻ --> 3 CuAdd the reactions:2 MnO₂ + 3Cu²⁺ + 6e⁻ --> 2 MnO₄⁻ + 6e⁻ + 3 CuEliminate like terms in the reactant and product side:2 MnO₂ + 3Cu²⁺ --> 2 MnO₄⁻ + 3 Cu...

3Sb^3+(aq) + BrO3^-(aq) + 6H^+(aq)>3Sb^5+(aq) + Br^-(aq) 3H2O(l)Explanation:When we want to balance redox reaction equations, we must ensure that the number of electrons lost in the oxidation half reaction equation is equal to the number of electrons gained in the reduction half reaction equation. After we have done this, we can now write the overall balanced reaction equation without including the number of electrons lost or gained. Hence;Oxidation half equation;3Sb^3+(aq) > 3Sb^5+(aq) +6eReduction half equation;BrO3^-(aq) + 6H^+(aq) + 6e > Br^-(aq) 3H2O(l)Overall balanced reaction equation;3Sb^3+(aq) + BrO3^-(aq) + 6H^+(aq)>3Sb^5+(aq) + Br^-(aq) 3H2O(l)...

Cu²⁺(aq) + 3NO₂⁻(aq) ⇄ Cu⁰(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) Explanation:A redox reaction is a reaction that occurs with oxidation and a reduction. The compound or the element that oxides are called reducted agent because it promotes the reduction of the other one. The compound or the element that reduces is called the oxidation agent, for the same reason. In the oxidation, the substance increases its oxidation number: it loses electrons. The opposite occurs in reduction: there is a decrease in the oxidation number and the substance gain electrons. So, the oxidation reaction is:NO₂⁻(aq) ⇄ NO₃⁻(aq) + 2e⁻And the reduction:Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ Cu⁰(aq)Note that in the first one, the oxidation number of O is always -2, and the oxidation number of N was from +3 to +5.The balanced reaction will be:Cu²⁺(aq) + 3NO₂⁻(aq) ⇄ Cu⁰(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) The number of atoms of an element must be the same on each side of the equation....
