17.1 Exercise 1

Avg difficulty 2.5

Identify each half-reaction below as either oxidation or reduction.

(a) Fe3++3e−⟶Fe\text{Fe}^{3+} + \text{3e}^{−} \rightarrow \text{Fe}

(b) Cr⟶Cr3++3e−\text{Cr} \rightarrow \text{Cr}^{3+} + \text{3e}^{−}

(c) MnO42−⟶MnO4−+e−\text{MnO}_{4} ^{2−} \rightarrow \text{MnO}_{4} ^{-} + \text{e}^{−}

(d) Li++e−⟶Li\text{Li}^{+} + \text{e}^{−} \rightarrow \text{Li}
