Answer:

1. The balanced equation is given below:

Sn (s) + 2HCl (aq) –> SnCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

2a. H is oxidized.

2b. Sn is reduced.

Explanation:

1. Balanced equation for the reaction between tin (Sn) metal and aqueous hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce tin(II) chloride (SnCl₂) and hydrogen gas (H₂).

This is illustrated below:

Sn (s) + HCl (aq) –> SnCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

There are 2 atoms of Cl on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HCl as shown below:

Sn (s) + 2HCl (aq) –> SnCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

Now, the equation is balanced

2. Determination of the element that is oxidize and reduced.

This can be obtained as follow:

We shall determine the change in oxidation number of each element.

NOTE:

a. The oxidation number of H is always +1 except in hydrides where it is –1.

b. The oxidation state of Cl is always –1.

Sn (s) + 2HCl (aq) –> SnCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

For Tin (Sn):

Sn = 0

SnCl₂ = 0

Sn + 2Cl = 0

Cl = – 1

Sn + 2(–1) = 0

Sn – 2 = 0

Collect like terms

Sn = 0 + 2

Sn = +2

Therefore, the oxidation number of Tin (Sn) changes from 0 to +2

For H:

H = +1

H₂ = 0

The oxidation number of H changes from +1 to 0

For Cl:

Cl is always –1. Therefore no change.

Summary:

Element >>Change in oxidation number

Sn >>>>>>>From 0 to +2

H >>>>>>>>From +1 to 0

Cl >>>>>>>No change

Therefore,

Sn is reduced since its oxidation number increased from 0 to +2.

H is oxidized since it oxidation number reduced from +1 to 0

If we mix 25 grans if sodium oxide with a large amount of potassium chloride, how many grams of sodium chloride should be produc
amid [387]

Answer:

47.2 g

Explanation:

Data given:

mass of Sodium oxide (Na₂O) = 25 grams

mass of potassium chloride (KCl) = excess

amount of sodium chloride (NaCl) = ?

Solution:

First we look for reaction of sodium oxide with potassium chloride.

                    Na₂O + 2 KCl -----------> 2 NaCl + K₂O

As we know that potassium chloride is in excess amount and sodium oxide is 25 g so it means sodium oxide is a limiting reactant and amount of sodium chloride depends on the amount of sodium oxide.

So, now we will look for mole mole ration of Na₂O to NaCl.

                    Na₂O + 2 KCl -----------> 2 NaCl + K₂O

                    1 mol                              2 mol

from above equation we come to know that 1 mole of Na₂O gives 2 moles of NaCl.

Now convert moles to mass

As we Know

Molar mass of Na₂O = 2(23) + 16 = 62 g/mol

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol

So

                  Na₂O              +   2 KCl    ----------->      2 NaCl          +      K₂O

             1 mol (62 g/mol)                                   2 mol (58.5 g/mol)

                  62 g                                                          117 g

So, it means that 62 g of Na₂O produce 117 g of NaCl then how many grams of NaCl will be produce by 25 g of Na₂O

Apply unity formula

                           62 g of Na₂O ≅ 117 g of NaCl

                           25 g of Na₂O ≅ X g of NaCl

Do cross multiplication

                          X g of NaCl = 117 g x 25 g / 62 g

                          X g of NaCl = 47.2 g

So,

25 g of Na₂O gives 47.2 grams of NaCl.

2. In Experiment SOL, you investigated the solubility of oxalic acid. Sodium oxalate, Na2C2O¬4, is the sodium salt of this acid.
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Sodium oxalate is a basic salt. In water it can be dissolved and dissociated.

The oxalic acid in water has two dissociations.

Explanation:

Na2C2O4 ---> 2Na+   +  C2O4-2

Sodium oxalate is the conjugate base of a weak acid. In water this salt, dissociates completely giving rise to the sodium and oxalate ions. As Na+ comes from a strong base, in water it does not produce hydrolysis while oxalate does react in water, because it takes a proton from it and it generates a basic hydrolysis releasing OH-.

C2O4-2  + H2O ⇄  HC2O4-  +  OH-

In water the salt is basic.  The pH of an aqueous solution of this salt is basic, since OH- is generated.

The HC2O4- has a second hydrolisis, it takes another proton from water to form oxalic acid.

HC2O4-  +  H2O ⇄  H2C2O4  +  OH-

The oxalic acid acts as a weak acid, it can release 2 protons to water, to make oxalate (its conjugate base).

H2C2O4  + H2O ⇄ H3O+  + HC2O4-

HC2O4-  +  H2O ⇄  H3O+  C2O4-2

The  HC2O4-  acts as an ampholyte since it accepts and delivers protons simultaneously.
