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⁺

. If you constructed graphs, what trends do they indicate in your data?
klasskru [66]

Answer:

A linear pattern is a continuous decrease or increase in numbers over time. On a graph, this data appears as a straight line angled diagonally up or down (the angle may be steep or shallow). So the trend either can be upward or downward.

(I00p)A chemical equation example of a replacement of 1 ion for another in a compound! I need an example
snow_tiger [21]
A single replacement reaction could look like this:

2FeCl3 + 3Ba ➡️ 3BaCl2 + 2Fe

In this reaction, the barium is replacing the iron bound to the chlorine.

A tank of gas has partial pressures of nitrogen and oxygen equal to 1.61 × 104 kPa and 4.34 × 103 kPa , respectively.What is t
Alchen [17]

Answer:

20.44\times 10^3 kPa is the total pressure of the tank.

Explanation:

Partial pressures of nitrogen = p_{N_2}=1.61\times 10^4 kPa

Partial pressure of oxygen =  p_{O_2}=4.34\times 10^3 kPa

Total pressure of gases in the tank = P

Applying Dalton's law of partial pressures :

P=p_{N_2}+p_{O_2}=1.61\times 10^4 kPa+4.34\times 10^3 kPa

P=20.44\times 10^3 kPa

20.44\times 10^3 kPa is the total pressure of the tank.
