SO₄²⁻  +NH₃  →   SO₃²⁻ + H₂O  +N₂

The  balanced  of  the above  redox reaction   is as below

3SO₄²⁻ + 2NH₃   →  3SO₃²⁻  + 3 H₂O  + N₂


 Explanation

According   to the law of mass conservation the  number  of atoms  in the reactant side  must  be equal to number of atoms in product side.

Inserting coefficient 3 in front of SO₄² , 2  in front  of NH₃, 3 in front  of SO₃²⁻  and 3 in front  of H₂O balance the equation above. This  is  because  the number  of atoms  are equal in both side.

for example there are 2 atoms of N in both side of the reaction.

Equivalent reaction equation :

3SO₄²⁻ + 2NH₃ ---> 3SO₃²⁻ + N₂ + 3H₂O

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

In equalizing the redox reaction we can use the oxidation number method or half the reaction of the ions

Oxidation number method  :

1. Determine the reducing agent and oxidizing agent

2. Equate the element that experiences a redox reaction

3. Determine the amount of reduction / increase in oxidation number (number of atoms x change in oxidation number)

4. Equate the number of changes in the oxidation number by giving a coefficient

5. equal charge (H + for acidic situations and OH- for alkaline conditions)

6. Balance the H atom with the addition of H₂O

From the reaction :

SO₄²⁻ + NH₃ ---> SO₃²⁻ + H₂O + N₂

1. SO₄²⁻  ---> SO₃²⁻ = reduction (for S : +6 to +4)

NH₃ --->  N₂ = oksidation (for N : -3 to 0)

2. add coefficient  to equate atom N

SO₄²⁻ + 2NH₃ ---> SO₃²⁻ + N₂

3. SO₄²⁻ + 2NH₃ ---> SO₃²⁻ + N₂

  |_+6___2 x 3__+4_|

                  |_-6____6 x 1___0_|

4. giving a coefficient

3SO₄²⁻ + 2NH₃ ---> 3SO₃²⁻ + N₂

5. charge already the same (left = -6, right = -6)

6. Balance the H atom with the addition of H₂O

3SO₄²⁻ + 2NH₃ ---> 3SO₃²⁻ + N₂ + 3H₂O ----> Balance

What would be the major product if 1,4-dibromo-4-methylpentane was allowed to react with:
Levart [38]

Answer : The correct answer for a) 4-bromo-2-iodo-4-methyl pentane and b)5-bromo-2-ethoxy-2-methyl pentane.

A) Reaction with NaI :

Reaction of alkyl halide with NaI is known as Finkelstein Reaction . The acetone is used as solvent . It involves bimolecular nucleophillic substitution rmechanism (SN²) . There is replecement of one halogen with other occurs .

The incoming Nucleophile(Nu⁻) (halide) attacks on carbon from back side , while the leaving group (halide) leaves the compound from front side , simultaneously. The product so formed have is inverted .(Image)

NaI releases I⁻ ion which act as nucelophile and attacks on C1 carbon and Br⁻ from C1 carbon is released . Out of two bromines at C1 and C4 carbons , C1 is primary carbon which is less sterically hindered while C-4 is tertiary carbon and sterically hindered . So it is easy for incoming Nu⁻ to attack on C1 carbon .So Br⁻ is repleaced by I⁻.

1,4-dibromo-4-methylpentane + NaI → 4-bromo-1-iodo-4-methylpentane

The product formed from reaction between 1,4-dibromo-4-methylpentane and NaI is 4-bromo-1-iodo-4-methylpentane . (Image)

B) Reaction with AgNO3 :

Reaction of alkyl halide with AgNO3 in ethanol takes place via SN¹ ( unimolecular nucleophilic substitution ) mechanism . In this leaving group(halide) leaves from alkyl halide forming an intermediate carbocation species . The incoming Nu⁻ attack on this carbocation.

AgNO3 reacts releases Ag⁺ion which abstract Br⁻ of C-4 carbon from 1,4-dibromo-4-methylpentane. THis forms tertiary carbocation which is more stable than carbocation formed by removal of Br from C-1 . The ethanol being more Nucleophilic than NO₃⁻ (from AgNO₃), attacks on this carbocation .(Image )

The product formed as a result is 5-bromo-2-ethoxy-2-methyl pentane.
