Given the equation representing a reaction:
Cd + NiO2 + 2H20 → Cd(OH)2 + Ni(OH)2
Which half-reaction equation represents the oxidation in the reaction?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Cd —> Cd2+ + 2e- :) you are welcome

Explanation:

The half reaction that represents the oxidation will be:

[tex]Cd(s)[/tex] → [tex]Cd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-[/tex]

  • A half reaction is either the oxidation or reduction reaction component of a redox reaction.
  • A half reaction is obtained by considering the change in oxidation states of individual substances involved in the redox reaction.

Given reaction:

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

[tex]Cd+NiO_2+2H_2O[/tex] → [tex]Cd(OH)_2+Ni(OH)_2[/tex]

The anode is where oxidation occurs and is the positive polarity contact in an electrolytic cell.

The half reaction that represents the oxidation will be:

[tex]Cd(s)[/tex] → [tex]Cd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-[/tex]
