When the equation Sn + HNO₃ → SnO₂ + NO₂ + H₂O is balanced in acidic solution, what is the smallest whole-number coefficient for

balu736 [363]

Answer:

1.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reaction we first assign the oxidation state for each species:

$Sn^0 + H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 + N^{4+}O^{2-}_2 + H^+_2O^-$

Whereas the half reactions are:

$Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-\\\\H^++H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +1e^-\rightarrow N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+H_2O$

Next, we exchange the transferred electrons:

$1\times(Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-)\\\\4\times (H^++H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +1e^-\rightarrow N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+H_2O)\\\\\\Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-\\\\4H^++4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +4e^-\rightarrow 4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+4H_2O$

Afterwards, we add them to obtain:

$Sn^0+2H_2O+4H^++4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+4H_2O$

By adding and subtracting common terms we obtain:

$Sn^0+4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+2H_2O$

Finally, by removing the oxidation states we have:

$Sn + 4HNO_3 \rightarrow SnO_2 + 4NO_2 + 2H_2O$

Therefore, the smallest whole-number coefficient for Sn is 1.

Regards.

Identify both the cellular structure that assembles these proteins and the kinds of molecules that are used as the building bloc

Blizzard [7]

The basic building blocks of proteins are the amino acids. There are 20 amino acids in a protein that we consume and the protein in our body. These amino acids link together to form large molecules. The 20 amino acids are divided into two groups called the essential and non-essential amino acids.

What is one of the primary unanswered questions about the origin of the universe? What type of elements formed first? Approximat

torisob [31]

Answer: last option, what came before the big bang?

Explanation:

The big bang theory states that the universe started as a dense nucleus of matter: a huge amount of matter concentrated in a tiny spot.

This is the conclusion of equations and evidences that prove that the universe has been and continuous to expand: since it has been expanding, there was a moment when it was as small and dense as it is possible.

So, the expansion is the result of violent explosion.

The time during which the expansion has been happening (this is how long ago the big bang occured) has been estimated thanks the the observation of the speed of recesion of the galaxies, but nothing can be told about what came before the bing bang occured.

Find q when 22.0g of water is heated from 25.0 C to 100 C. The specific heat capacity is water is 4.184 J/g.K

Leokris [45]

Answer:27,430J/g.K

Explanation:q= mass* specific heat capacity * change in temperature (kelvin)

22*4.184*[(100-25) + 273]

22*4.184*298

What is the coefficient for H2O when the equation ? Ca(OH)2(aq) + ? H3PO4(aq) → ? Ca3(PO4)2(s) + ? H2O(ℓ) is balanced using the

kari74 [83]

Answer:

Coefficient of $H_{2}O$ in the balanced equation with smallest possible integer is 6.

Explanation:

Unbalanced equation: $Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+H_{2}O(l)$

Balance Ca: $3Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+H_{2}O(l)$

Balance $PO_{4}$ : $3Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+2H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+H_{2}O(l)$

Balance H and O: $3Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+2H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+6H_{2}O(l)$

Balanced equation: $3Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+2H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+6H_{2}O(l)$

So coefficient of $H_{2}O$ in the balanced equation with smallest possible integer is 6.
