Sapling Week 7/8 #5 pt. 2

[Shannon Moore 2L]

I cannot seem to balance this equation correctly and I feel like I'm doing the process right. Can anyone help me out or tell me how they got their answer?

N2H4 (g) + ClO3- --> NO(g) + Cl- (aq)

The balanced half reactions I got were:

N2H4 + 8OH- --> 2NO + 6H2O + 8e-
ClO3- + 6e- --> Cl- + 6OH-

But I keep getting the final answer incorrect.

[Blake Ballew 1H]

Hey everything looks right but you are missing the three H2O molecules you should have left over from balancing the oxygens on the left side of the ClO3- to Cl- half reaction. Once you include these H2O molecules you should be good!

[Irene Chang 2F]

I had the same problem. I kept forgetting to include the H2O's. But as the previous reply mentioned, adding the H2O should fix your error.

[Shannon Moore 2L]

Thanks guys!!

[Levon Grigoryan]

The second one is wrong as it should be what I wrote below:
ClO3- + 6e- + 3H2O → Cl- + 6OH-

Hope this helps you just forgot the H2O.

[Samir 3I]

Looks like you just need to add 3 H2O molecules to the left side of your second equation

[Daniela Santana 2L]

Hi! It seems like you just need to add more H20 molecules to the left side of the reaction :)
