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

What is the solution's freezing point: 15 g of CH4N2O (Molar mass = 60.055 g/mol) in 200. g of H2O? (Kf = 1.86 (°C·kg)/mol)
AURORKA [14]

Ok to answer this question we firsst need to fin the number of mol of Urea (CH4N2O). to do this we simply :

1 mol of urea =15/60.055 = 0.25mol

therefore 200g of water contain 0.25mol

the next step is to determine the malality of our solution in 200g of water, to do this we say:

200 g = 1Kg/1000g = 0.2kg

therefor 0.25mol/0.2Kg = 1.25mol/kg

and from the equation:

we know that i = 1

we are given Kf

b is the molality that we just calculated

therefore;

the solutions freezing point is -2.325°C

What is a chemical reaction​. in your own words but be more detailed about what you say.
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

A chemical reaction is the change in chemical form rather than physical due to an outside force. This can come from something as simple as a change in temerature to as large as a specific element or compound.

An adult mosquitoes lifespan is about 16 days how many minutes is that
AVprozaik [17]
The answer is 23, 040 minutes. To solve this you can start by changing days in to hours. We know that there are 24 hours in a day. To find how many hours are in 16 days you multiply 24 by 16 which is 384. Next you must find out how many minutes are in 384 hours. we know there are 60 minutes per hour. To find how many minutes are in 384 hours, you multiply 384 by 60. To this you get 23, 040 which is your answer.

Capsaicin, the compound that gives the hot taste to chili peppers, has the formula C18H27NO3. Its molar mass is 305.42 g/mol. Ca
stellarik [79]
Molar mass = 305.42 g/mol

C = ( 12 x 18 / 305.42 ) x 100 => 70.72 % of C

H = ( 1 x 27 / 305.42 ) x 100 => 8.84 % of H

N = ( 14 x 1 / 305.42 ) x 100 => 4.58 % of N

O = ( 16 x 3 / 305.42) x 100 => 15.71% of O

hope this helps!
