Write a balanced half-reaction for the reduction of gaseous nitrogen (n2) to aqueous hydrazine (n2h4) in basic aqueous solution.

N₂(g) + 4H⁺(aq) + 4e⁻ → N₂H₄(aq)

Explanation:

The half reaction for the reaction for the reduction of gaseous nitrogen to aqueous hydrazine is;

N₂(g) → N₂H₄(aq)

The balancing the atoms in the half reaction. Hydrogen atom is balanced by adding hydrogen ions (H⁺)

We have;

N₂(g) + 4H⁺(aq) → N₂H₄(aq)

Then we balance the charge on both sides by adding electrons where the positive charge is greater;

we have;

N₂(g) + 4H⁺(aq) + 4e⁻ → N₂H₄(aq)

c. because step up transformer steps up the input voltage i.e increases the input voltage  

the number of turns are greater on the secondary side of step up transformer  

transformer does not handle dc current
