In acidic solution, the sulfate ion can be used to react with a number of metal ions. One such reaction is SO42−(aq)+Sn2+(aq)→H2

allsm [11]

Answer:

The final balanced equation is :

$SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)+Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)+Sn^{4+}(aq)$

Explanation:

$SO_4^{2-}(aq)+Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+Sn^{4+}(aq)$

Balancing in acidic medium:

First we will determine the oxidation and reduction reaction from the givne reaction :

Oxidation:

$Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)$

Balance the charge by adding 2 electrons on product side:

$Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)+2e^-$ ....[1]

Reduction :

$SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)$

Balance O by adding water on required side:

$SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)$

Now, balance H by adding $H^+$ on the required side:

$SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)$

At last balance the charge by adding electrons on the side where positive charge is more:

$SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)$ ..[2]

Adding [1] and [2]:

$SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)+Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)+Sn^{4+}(aq)$

The final balanced equation is :

$SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)+Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)+Sn^{4+}(aq)$

Hydrogen is a reactive gas under normal conditions.Based on this property alone, to which group of the periodic table should hyd

denis23 [38]

Even though Hydrogen is originally in group 1, based on this property, we can say it is in group 6.

Because:

Group 6 would mean that it only needs 2 more valence electrons till the octet (8 valence electrons). This would make it reactive, yet, in normal conditions, unlike group 7.

Inga [223]

Answer: Endothermic, 2.80 kJ

Explanation

Since this reaction absorbs heat, it is endothermic.

The energy absorbed per mole CO is 2.80 kJ and this reaction is already balanced. q= 2.80 kJ
