Complete and balance the following redox equation using the set of smallest whole– number coefficients. Now sum the coefficients

of all species in the balanced equation. (Remember the coefficients that are equal to one.) The sum of the coefficients is: BrO3– (aq) + Sb3+(aq) → Br–(aq) + Sb5+(aq) (acidic solution)

Answer : The balanced chemical equation in a acidic solution is,

BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)+3Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+3Sb^{5+}(aq)

The sum of the coefficients is, 17

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Rules for the balanced chemical equation in acidic solution are :

First we have to write into the two half-reactions.

Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.

Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.

If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the less number of oxygen are present.

If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydrogen ion (H^+) at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.

Now balance the charge.

The given chemical reaction is,

BrO_3^-(aq)+Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+Sb^{5+}(aq)

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}

Reduction : BrO_3^-\rightarrow Br^-

  • First balance the main element in the reaction.

Oxidation : Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}

Reduction : BrO_3^-\rightarrow Br^-

  • Now balance oxygen atom on both side.

Oxidation : Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}

Reduction : BrO_3^-\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O

  • Now balance hydrogen atom on both side.

Oxidation : Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}

Reduction : BrO_3^-+6H^+\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O

  • Now balance the charge.

Oxidation : Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}+2e^-

Reduction : BrO_3^-+6H^++6e^-\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O

The charges are not balanced. Now multiplying oxidation reaction by 3 and then adding both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

Oxidation : 3Sb^{3+}\rightarrow 3Sb^{5+}+6e^-

Reduction : BrO_3^-+6H^++6e^-\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O

The balanced chemical equation in acidic medium will be,

BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)+3Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+3Sb^{5+}(aq)

The sum of the coefficients = 1 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 3

The sum of the coefficients = 17

Cloud [144]

Analyzing a biomolecule X, a scientist verifies that it is made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen, in addition to releasing water when it joins with other similar molecules to form polymers. Considering these antecedents, it can be inferred that biomolecule X corresponds to: A Steroids B fatty acid C nucleotide D amino acid E monosaccharide (for people who dont speak spanish)

ok you answer is probably A

if wrong C maybe

~hope~

Calculate the molarity of 0.850 mol of Na2S in 1.70 L of solution.
Basile [38]

Molarity is simply the ratio of the number of moles of a substance over the total volume of the solution. Assuming that the addition of 0.850 moles does not change the overall volume of 1.70 L, therefore molarity is simply:

 

Molarity = 0.850 moles / 1.70 L = 0.5 moles / L = 0.5 M
