28 Two half‑equations for a reaction are shown.

29 Iodine can be extracted from seaweed. The seaweed is heated strongly to burn off the

organic matter. The resultant ash is boiled in water to dissolve the iodide ions, and the

mixture is filtered.

(a) Acidified hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is added to the filtrate.

A redox reaction takes place with iodine and water as the only products.

(i) Write half-equations for the oxidation and reduction reactions that take place.

State symbols are not required.

(2)

(ii) Use your answers to (a)(i) to write the overall equation for this redox reaction.

State symbols are not required.

(1)

(b) Urea is also used in reducing harmful emissions from diesel engines which

operate at high temperatures and emit nitrogen monoxide, NO. One way to

decrease these emissions involves two reactions.

A solution of urea is added to the hot exhaust gases, and is hydrolysed.
