What is the balanced form of the following equation?. Br2 + S2O32– + H2O → Br1– + SO42– + H+.

zloy xaker [14]

For the equation to be balanced, the Atom's coefficient on the left side and the right side of the equation has to be equal

so, the answer would be :

Br2 + S2032- + 5H20 -- > BR2- + 2S02- + H+

Hope this helps

Hydrocyanic acid, HCN, is a weak acid. (a) Write the chemical equation for the dissociation of HCN in water. (b) Identify the Br

12345 [234]

Answer: a) $HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)$

b) $HCN$ : acid $CN^-$ :conjugate base.

And, $H_2O$ : base $H_3O^+$ : conjugate acid.

c) $HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightleftharoons NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

d) $NaCN(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq)$

e) $NaCN(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HCN(aq)$

Explanation:

a) Weak acid is defined as the acid which does not completely dissociates when dissolved in water. They have high pH. These releases $H^+$ ions in their aqueous states.

The equation for the dissociation of $HCN$ acid is given by:

$HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)$

b) According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

For the given chemical equation:

$HCN$ is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms $CN^-$ which is a conjugate base.

And, $H_2O$ is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms $H_3O^+$ which is a conjugate acid.

c) Neutralization reaction is a reaction in which an acid reacts with base to produce salt and water.

$HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightarrow NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)$
