The answer to this question would be: 1

Fluorine is a nonmetal element that was located in the group 7 of the periodic table. Fluorine has 7 valence electron, only need 1 electron left to makes it fulfills the octet rule of 8 valence electron. One covalent bond should give fluorine the 1 electron it needs so the answer would be 1.

Zn⁰ ----> Zn⁺²   +   2e⁻ -  oxidation
Hg⁺² + 2e⁻ ----> Hg⁰ - reduction

Zn loses 2 moles of electrons , and Hg gains 2 mole of electrons.
So, number of moles of electrons gained and lost during reaction is equal.

Equation balancing
meriva

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The balanced equation is 2S(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)

<u>For c:</u> The balanced equation is 2NaOH(s)+H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq)+2H_2O(l)

<u>Explanation:</u>

A balanced chemical equation is one where all the individual atoms are equal on both sides of the reaction. It follows the law of conservation of mass.

  • <u>For (a):</u>

The given unbalanced equation follows:

S(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow SO_3(g)

To balance the equation, we must balance the atoms by adding 2 infront of both S(s) and SO_3 and 3 in front of O_2

For the balanced chemical equation:

2S(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)

  • <u>For (b):</u>

The given balanced equation follows:

2Al(s)+3Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2AlCl_3(s)

The given equation is already balanced.

  • <u>For (c):</u>

The given unbalanced equation follows:

2NaOH(s)+H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq)+H_2O(l)

To balance the equation, we must balance the atoms by adding 2 infront of H_2O(l)

For the balanced chemical equation:

2NaOH(s)+H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq)+2H_2O(l)

  • <u>For (d):</u>

The given balanced equation follows:

C_3H_8(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)

The given equation is already balanced.
