Question
for each reaction, write the chemical formulae of the oxidized reactants in the space provided. write the chemical formu provided.
$\mathrm{pb}(s)+\mathrm{hg}(\mathrm{no}_{3})_{2}(a q) \
ightarrow \mathrm{hg}(l)+\mathrm{pb}(\mathrm{no}_{3})_{2}(a q)$
$\
$
Step1: Determine oxidation states
Oxidation state of \(Pb\) in \(Pb(s)\) is \(0\), in \(Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\) is \(+2\). Oxidation state of \(Hg\) in \(Hg(NO_3)_2(aq)\) is \(+2\), in \(Hg(l)\) is \(0\). Oxidation state of \(Fe\) in \(Fe(s)\) is \(0\), in \(FeCl_3(aq)\) is \(+3\). Oxidation state of \(Cu\) in \(CuCl_2(aq)\) is \(+2\), in \(Cu(s)\) is \(0\). Oxidation state of \(Na\) in \(Na(s)\) is \(0\), in \(NaCl(aq)\) is \(+1\). Oxidation state of \(Zn\) in \(ZnCl_2(aq)\) is \(+2\), in \(Zn(s)\) is \(0\).
Step2: Identify oxidized and reduced reactants
Oxidation is increase in oxidation state. Reduction is decrease in oxidation state.
- For \(Pb(s)+Hg(NO_3)_2(aq)\to Hg(l)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\): \(Pb\) is oxidized (\(0\to + 2\)), \(Hg\) is reduced (\(+2\to0\)).
- For \(2Fe(s)+3CuCl_2(aq)\to2FeCl_3(aq)+3Cu(s)\): \(Fe\) is oxidized (\(0\to+3\)), \(Cu\) is reduced (\(+2\to0\)).
- For \(ZnCl_2(aq)+2Na(s)\to Zn(s)+2NaCl(aq)\): \(Na\) is oxidized (\(0\to+1\)), \(Zn\) is reduced (\(+2\to0\)).
