BALANCING AN EQUATION FOR A REACTION IN BASE
Aqueous sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl; household bleach) is a strong oxidizing agent that reacts with chromite ion [Cr(OH)_{4}^{-}] in basic solution to yield chromate ion (CrO_{4}^{2-}) and chloride ion. The net ionic equation is
ClO^{-}(aq) + Cr(OH)_{4}^{-}(aq) → CrO_{4}^{2-}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq) Unbalanced
Balance the equation using the half-reaction method.
STRATEGY
Follow the steps outlined in Figure 4.4.
