BALANCE THE FOLLOWING REDOX REACTION Hg + HNO3----> Hg2(NO3)2 + NO + H2O Share with your friends Share 0 Pratibha Pandey answered this Dear student, 1. Identify which reactants are being oxidizing and which is being reduced.oxidation: Hg→Hg2NO32reduction: HNO3→NO22. Write down the transfer of electron 2Hg→Hg2NO32+2e- HNO3+e-→NO23.Balance all other atoms. Reactant should be added on left side and products to the right.2Hg+2HNO3→Hg2NO32+2e-HNO3+e-→NO24.Add half reactions together and simplify the equation2Hg+4HNO3⇔Hg2NO32+2NO2+2H2Oso this was the sum of reaction and balanced reaction.
