1. (5) solid nickel reacts with aqueous nitric acid (hno3) to form aqueous nickel (iii) nitrate and
hydrogen gas. write out and balance the chemical equation, including phases.
2. (5) what type of reaction is this? can it undergo redox? if so, write out the balanced half-
reactions

See every answer with its explanation below

Explanation:

1. Write the molecular equation

         ↑                       ↑                               ↑                                   ↑

     solid nickel     aqueous nitric        aqueous nickel(III)     hydrogen gas

                             acid                         nitrate

2. Balance the molecular equation:

3. Type of reaction

This is a replacement reaction because the nickle is taking the place of hydrogen in the nitric acid and the hydrogen is released. It is also a redox reaction because nickel is being oxidized and hydrogen is being reduced.

The balanced half-reactions are:

         2Ni⁰ → 2Ni³⁺ + 2×(3e⁻)    

         Each nickle atom loses 3 electrons increasing its oxidation state from 0 to +3.

         6H⁺ + 6e⁻ → 3H₂⁰

         Each H⁺ gains 1 electron reducing its oxidation state from +1 to 0.

that's what i got you can count the number of atoms
