The two hydrogen atoms in the chemical hydrogen sulfide, H₂S, each have an oxidation number of +1, making a total of +2. As a result, the compound's sulfur has an oxidation number of -2, and the total number of oxidations is 0.

Assume that the sulfur atom in H₂S has an oxidation number of x.

S be x.

Now,

2+x=0

⇒x=−2

<h3>What is oxidation number?</h3>

The total number of electrons that an atom either receives or loses in order to create a chemical connection with another atom is known as the oxidation number, also known as the oxidation state.

Depending on whether we are taking into account the electronegativity of the atoms or not, these phrases can occasionally have a distinct meaning. Coordination chemistry commonly makes use of the phrase "oxidation number."

<h3>What distinguishes an oxidation number from an oxidation state?</h3>

In contrast to the oxidation state, which indicates how oxidised an atom is in a molecule, the oxidation number describes the charge that the core metal atom will retain once all ligands have been removed.

(a) Write the balanced neutralization reaction that occurs between H2SO4 and KOH in aqueous solution. Phases are optional. (b) S

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

These are two questions and two answers

Answer:

Question 1:

H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2KOH (aq) → K₂SO₄ (aq) + 2H₂O (l)

Question 2:

0.201 M

Explanation:

Question 1:

The neutralization reaction that occurs between H₂SO₄ and KOH is an acid-base reaction.

The products of an acid-base reaction are salt and water.

This is the sketch of such neutralization reaction:

1) Word equation:

sulfuric acid + potassium hydroxide → potassium sulfate + water

↑ ↑ ↑ ↑

acid base salt water

2) Skeleton equation (unbalanced)

H₂SO₄ + KOH → K₂SO₄ + H₂O

#) Balanced chemical equation (including phases)

H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2KOH (aq) → K₂SO₄ (aq) + 2H₂O (l) ← answer

Question 2:

1) Mol ratio:

Using the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced chemical equation you get the mol ratio:

1 mol H₂SO₄ (aq) : 2 mol KOH (aq) : 1 mol K₂SO₄ (aq) : mol 2H₂O (l)

2) Moles of H₂SO₄:

V = 0.750 liter
M = 0.480 mol/liter
M = n/V ⇒ n = M×V = 0.480 mol/liter × 0.750 liter = 0.360 mol

3) Moles of KOH:

V = 0.700 liter
M = 0.290 mol/liter
M = n/V ⇒ n = M × V = 0.290 mol/liter × 0.700 liter = 0.203 mol

4) Determine the limiting reagent:

a) Stoichiometric ratio:

1 mol H₂SO₄ / 2 mol NaOH = 0.500 mol H₂SO4 / mol NaOH

b) Actual ratio:

0.360 mol H₂SO4 / 0.203 mol NaOH = 1.77 mol H₂SO₄ / mol NaOH

Since hte actual ratio of H₂SO₄ is greater than the stoichiometric ratio, you conclude that H₂SO₄ is in excess.

5) Amount of H₂SO₄ that reacts:

Since, KOH is the limiting reactant, using 0.203 mol KOH and the stoichiometryc ratio 1 mol H₂SO₄ / 2 mol KOH, you get:

x / 0.203 mol KOH = 1 mol H₂SO₄ / 2 mol KOH ⇒

x = 0.203 / 2 = 0.0677 mol of H₂SO₄

6) Concentration of H₂SO₄ remaining:

Initial amount - amount that reacted = 0.360 mol - 0.0677 mol = 0.292 mol

Total volume = 0.700 liter + 0.750 liter = 1.450 liter

Concetration = M

M = n / V = 0.292 mol / 1.450 liter = 0.201 M ← answer
