Question

Balance the following equation in basic solution. Indicate what is oxidized, what is reduced, what is the oxidizing agent, and what is the reducing agent. Al + NO3 --> Al(OH)4 + NH3

Answer 1

The balanced chemical reation is expressed as:
3NO3- + 8Al + 5OH- + 18H2O→ 3NH3 + 8Al(OH)4

Oxidized: Al
Reduced: N
Oxidizing agent: NO3-
Reducing Agent: Al

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
