Why does SO2 and water make H2SO3 and NOT H2SO4? Explain your answer.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vlada [557]3 years ago
6 0
This is because the law of conservation of mass will not be followed if, from SO2 and water, sulfuric acid is formed. Making a balanced chemical reaction is not possible no matter what. To obtain sulfuric acid, SO2 still needs to be oxidized further to SO3.

If a substance undergoes electrolysis and a brown solid forms on one electrode and a gas on the other, from this we can conclude
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

b. a compound.

Explanation:

Electrolysis is described as a mechanism in which ionic compounds are decomposed into their elements by transmitting a direct electric current via the compound in a liquid state. At the cathode, the cations are reduced and anions at the anode are oxidized. There is an exchange between ions and atoms in the electrolysis process caused by the addition or removal between electrons from the external circuit. As per the question, the original substance is a compound because the electrolysis method is used to obtain pure elements from their respective compound.

Two moles of propene (c3h6) gas react with nine moles of oxygen (o2) gas to produce six moles of carbon dioxide gas (co2) and si
dalvyx [7]
The stoichiometry of the reaction gives the molar ratio in which the reactants react with each other and the ratio in which products are formed.
The coefficients of the reactants in the reaction follow the stoichiometry 
the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is as follows;
2C₃H₆(g) + 9O₂(g)  ---> 6CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(l)

What is the molarity of the potassium hydroxide if 25.25 mL of KOH is required to neutralize 0.500 g of oxalic acid, H2C2O4? H2C
Greeley [361]

Answer:

0.444 mol/L

Explanation:

First step is to find the number of moles of oxalic acid.

n(oxalic acid) = \frac{0.5g}{90.03 g/mol} = 5.5537*10^{-3} mol\\

Now use the molar ratio to find how many moles of NaOH would be required to neutralize 5.5537*10^{-3} mol\\ of oxalic acid.

n(oxalic acid): n(potassium hydroxide)

         1           :            2                  (we get this from the balanced equation)

5.5537*10^{-3} mol\\ : x

x = 0.0111 mol

Now to calculate what concentration of KOH that would be in 25 mL of water:

c = \frac{number of moles}{volume} = \frac{0.0111}{0.025} = 0.444 mol/L

Answer the following questions that relate to electrochemical reactions. (a) Under standard conditions at 25˚C, Zn(s) reacts wit
Elanso [62]

Answer:

0.48 V

Explanation:

Zn(s) ------------> Zn^2+(aq) + 2e. Oxidation half equation (-0.76V)

Co^2+(aq) + 2e-----------> Co(s). Reduction half equation (-0.28)

Zn(s) + Co^2+(aq) -------------> Zn^2+(aq) + Co(s) overall redox equation

Zinc is the anode while cobalt is the cathode.

E°cell= E°cathode - E°anode

E°cell= -0.28-(-0.76)= 0.48 V
