When the equation Sn + HNO₃ → SnO₂ + NO₂ + H₂O is balanced in acidic solution, what is the smallest whole-number coefficient for

balu736 [363]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reaction we first assign the oxidation state for each species:

$Sn^0 + H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 + N^{4+}O^{2-}_2 + H^+_2O^-$

Whereas the half reactions are:

$Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-\\\\H^++H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +1e^-\rightarrow N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+H_2O$

Next, we exchange the transferred electrons:

$1\times(Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-)\\\\4\times (H^++H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +1e^-\rightarrow N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+H_2O)\\\\\\Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-\\\\4H^++4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +4e^-\rightarrow 4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+4H_2O$

Afterwards, we add them to obtain:

$Sn^0+2H_2O+4H^++4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+4H_2O$

By adding and subtracting common terms we obtain:

$Sn^0+4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+2H_2O$

Finally, by removing the oxidation states we have:

$Sn + 4HNO_3 \rightarrow SnO_2 + 4NO_2 + 2H_2O$

Therefore, the smallest whole-number coefficient for Sn is 1.

Regards.
