Exaplin how do i solve this. Share with your friends Share 0 Geetha answered this a) Br2 → Br-Oxidation state of Br in Br2 = 0oxidation state of Br in Br-= -1Change in oxidation state is 1Br2 + 2 e- →2 Br-Thus the gain of electron occur as well as the oxidation state gets reduced. So reduction occur. b) Fe2+ → Fe3+oxidation state of Fe in Fe2+ is +2 and oxidation state of Fe in Fe3+ is +3.There is increase in oxidation state by 1, so oxidation. Oxidation is loss of electron.Fe2+ → Fe3+ + e-c) MnO4- + H+ → Mn2+ + H2Ooxidation state of MnO4- isMnO4-x + 4 (-2) =-1x = +7Mn2+x= +2As the oxidation state changed from +7 to +2, there is reduction. MnO4- +5 e- + H+ → Mn2+ + H2OBalance th oxygen atomMnO4- +5 e- + H+ → Mn2+ + 4H2OBalance the hydrogen atomMnO4- +5 e- + 8H+ → Mn2+ + 4H2O 0 View Full Answer
