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

This <u>heterogeneous </u>mixture is a suspension of oil and vinegar

A mixture is a physical combination of two or more substances and each of these substances preserves its identity and form in the mixture.

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which is one substance thoroughly dissolves in the other and its composition is uniform throughout the solution. e.g salt and water.

A heterogeneous mixture is one in the two substances form two layers and their composition varies throughout the mixture.

From the given information, the mixture of oil and vinegar is an example of a heterogeneous mixture.
