How to balance that equation

Chemistry
1 answer:
zepelin [54]3 years ago
7 0

The balanced equation is

Cl₂ + SO₂ +2H₂O ⟶ 2Cl⁻ +SO₄²⁻ + 4H⁺

This is a <em>redox reaction</em>, so I will balance it using the <em>ion-electron method</em>.

<em>Step </em>1. Write the <em>skeleton equatio</em>n.

Strip the equation of H⁺ and H₂O (these come back in during the balancing procedure). We get

Cl₂ + SO₂ ⟶ Cl⁻ +SO₄²⁻

<em>Step 2</em>: Separate the skeleton equation into <em>two half-reactions</em>.

Cl₂ ⟶ Cl⁻

SO₂ ⟶ SO₄²⁻

<em>Step 3</em>: Balance all atoms <em>other than H and O</em>.

Cl₂ ⟶ 2Cl⁻

SO₂ ⟶ SO₄²⁻

<em>Step 4</em>: <em>Balance O</em>.

Add enough H₂O molecules to balance O,

Cl₂ ⟶ 2Cl⁻

SO₂ + 2H₂O ⟶ SO₄²⁻

<em>Step 5</em>: <em>Balance H</em>.

Add enough H⁺ ions to balance H.

Cl₂ ⟶ 2Cl⁻

SO₂ + 2H₂O ⟶ SO₄²⁻ + 4H⁺

<em>Step 6</em>:<em> Balance charge. </em>

<em>Add</em> <em>electrons</em> to the side that needs more negative charge.

Cl₂ + 2e⁻ ⟶ 2Cl⁻

SO₂ + 2H₂O ⟶ SO₄²⁻ + 4H⁺ + 2e⁻

<em>Step </em>7: <em>Add the two half-reactions</em>.

The balanced equation is

Cl₂ + SO₂ + 2H₂O ⟶ 2Cl⁻ + SO₄²⁻ + 4H⁺

What is the concentration in milligrams per milliter of a solution containing 23.5 meq sodium chlorise per milliliter? mw nacl =
ValentinkaMS [17]

1374.75 is the concentration in milligrams per ml of a solution containing 23.5 meq sodium chloride per milliliter.

Concentration in chemistry is calculated by dividing a constituent's abundance by the mixture's total volume.

It is calculated in mg/ml.

The unit of measurement frequently used for electrolytes is the milliequivalent (mEq). This value compares an element's chemical activity, or combining power, to that of 1 mg of hydrogen.

Formula for calculating concentration in mg/ml is

Conc. (mg/ml) = M(eq) /ml ×  Molecular weight / Valency

Given

M(eq) NaCl/ ml = 23.5

Molecular weight pf NaCl = 58.5 g/mol

Valency = 1

Putting the values into the formula

Conc. (mg/ml) = 23.5 ×58.5/1

                       = 1374.75 mg/ml

Hence, 1374.75 is the concentration in milligrams per ml of a solution containing 23.5 meq sodium chloride per milliliter.

Bismuth oxide reacts with carbon to form bismuth metal: bi2o3(s) + 3c(s) → 2bi(s) + 3co(g) when 689 g of bi2o3 reacts with exces
ExtremeBDS [4]
Using the answer from the first part, we know that 2.957 moles of bismuth have formed. Moreover, the molar ratio between bismuth and carbon monoxide is:

2 : 3

Using the method of ratios,

2 : 3
2.957 : CO

CO = (3 * 2.957) / 2
CO = 4.4355

4.436 moles of carbon monoxide will be formed
