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)

What are the physical and chemical properties of iron oxide
Anika [276]

Answer: The physical properties of iron oxide are that it is an odorless, red-brown solid, and that it is insoluble. Depending on the chemical formula, one of the chemical properties is its combustibility. If the chemical formula is Fe2O3, it is not combustible. If the formula is FeO, it is readily combustible.

Is gunpowder a homogenous mixture or a heterogenous mixture? Explain why.
inysia [295]

Gunpowder is a heterogenous mixture,

Reason : the composiotion of the mixture is not uniform throughout, the mixture can be separated by a suitable method , and finally , it composes of charcoal, sulfur and potassium nitrate which is not homogeneous mixture.

The nearest star to the earth is Proxima Centuri. It is 4x1016 meters from New York City. The distance to Perth on the exact
Travka [436]

Answer:

Proxima Centuri is 9 orders of magnitude further from New York compared to Perth

Explanation:

Distance of Proxima Centuri to New York = 4 × 10^16 meters

Distance of Proxima Centuri to Perth = 11000 miles

Since 1 mile = 1609 meters, distance to Perth in meters = 11000 × 1609

Distance to Perth = 17699000 = 1.7699 × 10^7 meters

Order of magnitude of the distances of Proxima Centuri to New York and Perth = 10^16/10^7

Order of magnitude = 10^9

Therefore, Proxima Centuri is 9 orders of magnitude further from New York compared to Perth.

Why is the bond angle in a water molecule less than the bond angle of methane
Annette [7]
The bond angle in the Water Molecule is approx. 104.5 degrees. The methane molecule is approx. 109.5 degrees. The differences, is due to the force from the surrounding molecules and atoms. For example the Lone pairs of electrons.
