Why is the reaction SO2 + H2O → H2SO2 not balanced?

Chemistry
1 answer:
aalyn [17]3 years ago
5 0

There are more oxygen atoms in the reactants while there are less oxygen atoms in the product.

Both sides of the equation is supposed to be balanced for a balanced equation. If any one of them isn't balanced, the equation remains unbalanced.

The main reason why the reaction above can not be balanced is:

This chemical reaction SO2 + H2O -> H2SO2 is not correctly written.

It must be: SO2 + H2O -> H2SO3

7.66 Write balanced equations for the following reactions: (a) potassium oxide with water, (b) diphosphorus trioxide with water,
White raven [17]

Explanation:

(a) potassium oxide with water

K_2O(s)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2KOH(aq)

According to reaction,1 mole of potassium  oxide reacts with 1 mole of water to give 1 mole of potassium hydroxide.

(b) diphosphorus trioxide with water

P_2O_3(s)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_3PO_3(aq)

According to reaction,1 mole of diphosphorus trioxide reacts with 2 moles of water  to give 2 moles of phosphorus acid.

(c) chromium(III) oxide with dilute hydrochloric acid,

Cr_2O_3(s)+6HCl(aq)\rightarrow 2CrCl_3(aq)+3H_2O(l)

According to reaction,1 mole of chromium(III) oxide reacts with 6 moles of hydrochloric acid to give 2 moles of chromium(III) chloride and 3 moles of water.

(d) selenium dioxide with aqueous potassium hydroxide

SeO_2 (s)+2KOH (aq)\rightarrow K_2SeO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)

According to reaction,1 mole of selenium dioxide reacts with 2 moles of potassium hydroxide to give 1 mole of potassium selenite and 1 mole of water.
