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

Chemistry
1 answer:
aalyn [17]2 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

4. Can 200 ml of fluid be transferred to a 1-quart container? Explain the process that you used to arrive at your answer.
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

  • <u><em>Yes, 200 ml of fluid can be transferred to a 1-quart container.</em></u>

Explanation:

You must compare the two volumes, 200 ml and 1 quart. If 200 ml is less than or equal to 1 quart, then 200 ml of fluid can be transferred to a 1-quart container, else it is not possible.

To compare, the two volumes must be on the same system of units.

Quarts is a measure of volume equivalent to 1/4 of gallon.

One gallon is approximately 3.785 liters.

3.785 liter = 3.785 liter × 1,000 ml/liter

Then, to convert 1 quart to ml use the unit cancellation method:

  • (1/4)gallon × 3.785 liter/gallon × 1,000ml / liter = 946.25 ml

Thus, you get that a 1-quart container has volume of 946.25 ml, which allows that 200ml of fluid be transferred to it.

The decomposition of N2O4 into NO2 has Kp = 2. Some N2O4 is placed into an empty container, and the partial pressure of NO2 at e
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Expression for the given decomposition reaction is as follows.

           N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}

Let us assume that x concentration of N_{2}O_{4} is present at the initial stage. Therefore, according to the ICE table,

                    N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}

Initial :               x                   0

Change :       - 0.1        2 \times 0.1

Equilibrium : (x - 0.1)             0.2

Now, expression for K_{p} of this reaction is as follows.

     K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{NO_{2}}}{P_{N_{2}O_{4}}}

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

          K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{NO_{2}}}{P_{N_{2}O_{4}}}

                 2 = \frac{(0.2)^{2}}{(x - 0.1)}

                2 \times (x - 0.1) = (0.2)^{2}

                            x = 0.12

This means that P_{N_{2}O_{4}} = x = 0.12 atm.

Thus, we can conclude that the initial pressure in the container prior to decomposition is 0.12 atm.
