Balancing the reaction by oxidation number method k2cr2o7+sncl2+hcl​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mumz [18]3 years ago

Answer:

K_2Cr_2O_7 (aq) + 14 HCl (aq) + 3 SnCl_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2 CrCl_3 (aq) + 7 H_2O (l) + 3 SnCl_4 (aq) + 2 KCl (aq)

Explanation:

The products of this reaction are given by:

K_2Cr_2O_7 (aq) + SnCl_2 (aq) + HCl (aq)\rightarrow KCl (aq) + SnCl_4 (aq) + CrCl_3 (aq) + H_2O (l)

Firstly, dichromate anion becomes chromium(III) cation, let's write this change:

Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow Cr^{3+} (aq)

The following steps should be taken:

  • balance the main element, chromium: multiply the right side by 2 to get 2 chromium species on both side:

Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq)

  • balance oxygen atoms by adding 7 water molecules on the right:

Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l)

  • balance the hydrogen atoms by adding 14 protons on the left:

Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq) + 14 H^+ (aq)\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l)

  • balance the charge (the total net charge on the left is 12+, on the right we have 6+, so 6 electrons are needed on the left):

Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq) + 14 H^+ (aq) + 6e^-\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l)

Similarly, tin(II) cation becomes tin(IV) cation:

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

Now that we have the two half-equations, multiply the second one by 3, so that it also has 6 electrons that will be cancelled out upon addition of the two half-equations:

Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq) + 14 H^+ (aq) + 6e^-\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l)

3 Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow 3 Sn^{4+} (aq) + 6e^-

Add them together:

Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq) + 14 H^+ (aq) + 3 Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l) + 3 Sn^{4+} (aq)

Adding the ions spectators:

K_2Cr_2O_7 (aq) + 14 HCl (aq) + 3 SnCl_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2 CrCl_3 (aq) + 7 H_2O (l) + 3 SnCl_4 (aq) + 2 KCl (aq)

An atom has a mass number of 22 and an atomic number of 12. How many neutrons<br> does it have?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

this isn't correct answer but the equation is correct by using this methid you can got your answer .

Explanation:

Given - Mass number of atom = 23

                                Atomic number of atom = 11

As, no. of electrons in an atom is equal to an atomic number of the element.

So, number of electrons = 11

Secondly , number of protons are equal to number of electrons.

so, number of protons = 11

And number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 23−11 = 12

so, number of neutrons = 12

So , the atom contains 11 protons, 11 electrons, 12 neutrons.

In which of these statements are protons, electrons, and neutrons correctly compared?
algol13
The statement that correctly compares protons, electrons, and neutrons is, "Quarks are present in protons and neutrons but not in electrons". Quarks are tiny particles which compose the neutrons and protons. These quarks in protons and neutrons are linked together by gluons.

Given the number of a substance , how do you solve for the number of a moles of a substance
chubhunter [2.5K]
Given the number of a substance, we can solve the number of moles by using a conversion factor that would relate the number of a substance to the number of moles. In any case, Avogadro's number would be used. It <span>represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles. For example, we are given 1.23 x 10^24 atoms of a substance converting it to moles we do as follows:

 </span>1.23 x 10^24 atoms ( 1 mol / 6.022x10^23 atoms ) = 2.04 moles
