The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows;
2H₂S + SO₂ —> 2H₂O + 3S
Stoichiometry of H₂S to SO₂ is 2:1
Limiting reactant is fully used up in the reaction and amount of product formed depends on amount of limiting reactant present.
Number of H₂S moles - 8.0 g / 34 g/mol = 0.24 mol of H₂S
Number of SO₂ moles = 12.0 g / 64 g/mol = 0.188 mol of SO₂
According to molar ratio of 2:1
If we assume H₂S to be the limiting reactant
2 mol of H₂S reacts with 1 mol of SO₂ 
Therefore 0.24 mol of H₂S requires - 1/2 x 0.24 = 0.12 mol of SO₂ 
But 0.188 mol of SO₂ is present therefore SO₂ is in excess and H₂S is the limiting reactant.
H₂S is the limiting reactant
Amount of S produced depends on amount of H₂S present
Stoichiometry of H₂S to S is 2:3
2 mol of H₂S forms 3 mol of S
Therefore 0.24 mol of H₂S forms - 3/2 x 0.24 mol = 0.36 mol of S
Mass of S produced = 0.36 mol x 32 g/mol = 11.5 g of S is produced

Choose the correct option for the redox reaction below : 8H+(aq) + MnO4-(aq) + 5Fe2+(aq) → Mn2+(aq) + 5Fe3+(aq) 4H2O(l) H+ (oxid
hodyreva [135]

Explanation:

8H+(aq) + MnO4-(aq) + 5Fe2+(aq) → Mn2+(aq) + 5Fe3+(aq) + 4H2O(l)

To determine if a substance was reduced or oxidized, the oxidation number at the reactant and product side is compared.

When oxidation occurs, an element loses electrons and its oxidation number increases (becomes more positive). When reduction occurs, an element gains electrons and its oxidation number decreases or is reduced (becomes more negative).

H+ (oxidized or reduced) Answer 1 Choose...

There is an increase in oxidation number from 0 to 1. This means H+ was oxidized.

MnO4- (oxidizing or reducing agent) Answer 2 Choose...

In chemistry, an oxidizing agent is a substance that has the ability to oxidize other substances — in other words to accept their electrons

MnO4- is a strong oxidizing agent.

Fe2+ (oxidizing or reducing agent) Answer 3 Choose...

A reducing agent means it will itself get oxidized. In  this reaction, Fe2+ is the reducing agent.

Fe2+ (oxidized or reduced) Answer 4 Choose...

Oxidized

O in MnO4- (oxidized or reduced) Answer 5 Choose...

There is no change in oxidation number of , so it was neither reduced nor was it oxidized.

Mn in MnO4- (oxidized or reduced) Answer 6 Choose...

There is a decreaase in oxidation number from +7 to +2. This means reduction.

(a) ions in a certain volume of .20M NaCl (aq) are represented in the box above on the left. in the box above on the right, draw
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

  • The first picture attached is the diagram that accompanies the question.

  • The<u> second picture attached</u> is the diagram with the answer.

Explanation:

In the box on the left there are 8  Cl⁻ ions and 8 Na⁺ ions.

The dissociaton equation for NaCl(aq) is:

  • NaCl (aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

The dissociation equation for CaCl₂ (aq)  is:

  • CaCl₂ (aq) → Ca²⁺ (aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)

A 0.10MCaCl₂ (aq) solution will have half the number of CaCl₂ units as the number of NaCl units in a 0.20M NaCl (aq) solution.

Thus, while the 0.20M NaCl (aq) solution yields 8 ions of Na⁺ and 8 ions of Cl⁻, the 0.10MCaCl₂ (aq) solution will yield 4 ions of Ca²⁺ (half because the concentration if half)  and 8 ions of Cl⁻ (first take half and then multiply by 2 because the dissociation reaction).

Thus, your drawing must show 4 dots representing Ca²⁺ ions and 8 dots representing Cl⁻ ions in the box on the right.

Exactly 5000 mL of air at 223K is warmed and has a new volume of 8.36 liters. What is the new temperature?
34kurt

Answer:

The new temperature is 373 K

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume air = 5000 mL = 5.0 L

Temperature = 223K

New volume = 8.36 L

Step 2: Calculate the new temperature

V1/T1 = V2/T2

⇒V1 = the initial volume = 5.0 L

⇒T1 = the initial temperature = 223 K

⇒V2 = the new volume = 8.36 L

⇒T2 = the new temperature

5.0/223 = 8.36 /T2

T2 = 373 K

The new temperature is 373 K

When can all the coefficients in a balanced equation represent volume ratios? when reactants and products are solids at stp when
Alexxx [7]

Answer: when reactants and products are gases at STP.


Justification:


1) STP stands for standard temperature (0°) and pressure (1 atm).


2) According to the kinetic molecular theory of the gases, and as per Avogadro's principle, equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules.



3) Since the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent number of moles, when reactants and products are gases at the same temperature and pressure, the mole ratios are the same that the volume ratios, and then the coefficients of the chemical equation represent the volume ratios.
