Question

Under acidic conditions, the correctly balanced redox reaction for ClO₂^-(aq) $\rarr$ ClO₂(g) + Cl^-(aq) is: 5ClO₂^-(aq) + 4H⁺(aq) $\rarr$ 4ClO₂(g) + Cl^-(aq) + 2H₂O(l)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced redox reaction under acidic conditions involves 5 moles of the reactant ClO₂^-(aq) and 4 moles of H+ ions as the oxidizing agent, resulting in the formation of 4 moles of the product ClO₂(g), Cl^-(aq), and 2 moles of H2O as the reducing agent.
