Answer:

4Br₂+ 5H₂O+ S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8Br⁻

Explanation:

Br₂ +  S₂O₃²⁻  + H₂O  → Br⁻ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺

This is a redox reaction:

Br₂ changes the oxidation state from 0 to -1, so it was reduced

In the S₂O₃⁻² anion S changes the oxidation state from +2 to +6 in sulfate anion. (S₂O₃⁻², it is called thiosulfate)

We have protons in the main equation, so we assume we are in acidic medium:

Br₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Br⁻         Reduction

We balanced the bromide with 2, so the bromine has gained 2 electrons.

<u>5H₂O</u> + S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + <u>10H⁺</u> + <em>8e</em>-  Oxidation

First of all, we add 2 to the sulfate anion in the product side, in order to balance the S.

As we have 8 O in right side, and 3 O in left side, we must add 5 O. We add 5 water in the place where the O are lower (reactant side).

Now, we have 10 H, in the reactant side, so we balance the product side with protons (10 H⁺).

Sulfur changed the oxidation state from +2 to +6, so it released 4 electrons, but, if you see thiosulfate anion you have 2 sulfurs so finally it has released 8 electrons.

Electrons are unbalanced so we multiply reduction x4, and oxidation x1.

(Br₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Br⁻) . 4 = 4Br₂ + 8e⁻ → 8Br⁻

(5H₂O + S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + <em>8e</em>-) . 1 = STAYS THE SAME.

We sum both half reactions, to cancel the elecetrons:

4Br₂ + 8e⁻ + 5H₂O + S₂O₃²⁻  → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + <em>8e</em>- + 8Br⁻

Finally the balanced reaction is: 4Br₂+ 5H₂O+ S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8Br⁻

Differentiate between the three types of simple permanent tissues on the basis of their cell walls​
True [87]

Answer:

Parenchyma is the most simple and specialized tissue which is concerned mainly with the vegetative activities of the plant. The cells are isodiametric with well-developed intercellular spaces, vacuolated cytoplasm and cellulosic cell wall.

Collenchyma is the tissue of the primary body. The cells of the tissue contain protoplasm and are living without intercellular spaces. The cell wall articulate at the corners and are made up of cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin.

Sclerenchyma is the thick-walled cell tissue. In the beginning, the cell is living and have protoplasm, but due to deposition of impermeable secondary board lignin, they become dead thick and hard.

What is the molar concentration of a 2 liter solution containing 200 grams of glucose?
NARA [144]

The molar concentration is 1.11M.

<h3>What is molar concentration?</h3>

The phrase "molar concentration" (also known as "molarity," "amount concentration," or "substance concentration") refers to the amount of a substance per unit volume of solution and is used to describe the concentration of a chemical species, specifically a solute, in a solution. The most frequent measure of molarity in chemistry is the number of moles per liter, denoted by the unit symbol mol/L or mol/dm3 in SI units. A solution with a concentration of 1 mol/L is referred to as 1 molar, or 1 M.

<h3>Given : </h3>

Volume of the solution = 2L

Mass of glucose given = 200g

Concentration of glucose= ?

<h3>Formula use: </h3>

Molarity = no. of moles of solute / volume of the solution (L)

Moles of solute = given mass of solute / molar mass of the solute

<h3>Solution: </h3>

No. of moles of solute( glucose ) = 200 / 180 = 1.11 moles'

Molarity = 1.11 / 2 = 0.5555 mol L ^(-1)

Therefore, the molar concentration of glucose in the solution = 0.555 mol L ^(-1)

How many moles of mgs2o3 are in 193 g of the compound?
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

             1.414 Moles

Solution:

Data Given:

                 Mass of MgS₂O₃  =  193 g

                 M.Mass of MgS₂O₃  =  136.43 g.mol⁻¹

                 Moles  =  ?

Formula Used:

                            Moles  =  Mass ÷ M.Mass

Putting values,

                            Moles  =  193 g ÷ 136.43 g.mol⁻¹

                            Moles =  1.414 mol
