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

Chemistry

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)

Good electrical conductivity and electronegativities less than 1.7 are the properties and characteristic of Group 2 elements at STP.

<h3>What are the properties of group 2 elements?</h3>

Group 2 elements are metals so they are good conductors of heat and electricity. It has electronegativity values less than 1.7 and very reactive. They form 2+ charge in cationic form and also formed ionic bonds with other negatively charged elements.

So we can conclude that good electrical conductivity and electronegativities less than 1.7 are the properties and characteristic of Group 2 elements at STP.
