Answer: Two chlorine atoms

Explanation:

Chlorine is a nonmetal belonging to group 7 of the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 17 distributed as (2, 8, 7), so it has 7 valence electrons and needs JUST ONE to complete its outermost shell.

Cl + e- ---> Cl-

On the other hand, barium is a metal belonging to group 2 on the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 56 with 2

valence electrons in its outermost shell, and gives off the two electrons to form a stable octet structure.

Ba ----> Ba2+ + 2e-

Thus, barium loses its 2 outermost electrons to form a Ba2+ ion, while TWO chlorine atoms receive them to form 2Cl- resulting in an ionic bond in the compound, BaCl2 (Barium Chloride)

Ba2+ + 2Cl- ---> BaCl2

In acidic solution, the sulfate ion can be used to react with a number of metal ions. One such reaction is SO42−(aq) Sn2 (aq)→H2
Sav [38]

Answer:

SO₄²⁻(aq) +Sn²⁺(aq) +4H⁺ → H₂SO₃(aq) + Sn⁴⁺(aq) + H₂O

Explanation:

At first calculate the oxidation state of that element which undergoes oxidation as well as reduction.

for SO₄²⁻ the oxidation state of sulphur is +6 and H₂SO₃ the oxidation state of sulphur is +4

So balance equation is

(Reduction)      SO₄²⁻ + 4H⁺+ 2e⁻ → H₂SO₃ + H₂O.........................................(1)

(oxidation)        Sn²⁺ → Sn⁴⁺ + 2e⁻ .............................................................(2)

Adding equation 1 & 2

we get

SO₄²⁻(aq) +Sn²⁺(aq) +4H⁺ → H₂SO₃(aq) + Sn⁴⁺(aq) + H₂O
