In Lab 9, students performed acid-base titrations. Redox reactions can also be used in titrations. An example is the titration of ascorbic acid (H2C6H6O6) in lemon juice using triiodide (I3–). A starch indicator will turn the solution blue-black at the endpoint. The half-reactions involved are shown below.
C6H6O6 + 2 H+ + 2 e– |
→ |
H2C6H6O6 |
+0.06 V |
I3– + 2 e– |
→ |
3 I– |
+0.53 V |

Consider your experimental results from part A of this lab. Suppose your strongest reducing agent were added to your strongest oxidizing agent. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Omit states-of-matter from your answers.)
(a) Write the half-reaction for your strongest reducing agent.
chemPad
Mg → Mg2+ + 2e1-
[removed]
Correct.
(b) Write the half-reaction for your strongest oxidizing agent.
chemPad
MnO4– + 8H+ + 5e– → Mn2+ +4H2O
[removed]
Correct.
(c) Note the number of electrons in each half reaction.
In order to balance the number of electrons lost and gained, the oxidation half-reaction must be multiplied by and the reduction half-reaction must be multiplied by
(d) Write the net redox reaction.
