For each reaction described, write the corresponding

Chapter , Problem 89

(choose chapter or problem)

For each reaction described, write the corresponding chemical equation without putting coefficients to balance it. Next, determine the oxidation state of each element in the equation. Then, write the two half-reactions, labeling which is oxidation and which is reduction. Finally, write a balanced equation for the reaction. a. Solid mercuric oxide is put into a test tube and gently heated. Liquid mercury forms on the sides and in the bottom of the tube, and oxygen gas bubbles out from the test tube. b. Solid copper pieces are put into a solution of silver nitrate. Silver metal appears and blue copper(II) nitrate forms in the solution
