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

Arrange the eluting power of the listed solvents in normal-phase chromatography. The highest eluting power solvent is number 1;
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Explanation:

Part a

Normal Phase Chromatography

In the normal phase chromatography, the eluting power is highest for the solvent which has the highest polarity.

So from the given solvents as Methanol, Dichloromethane and Ethyl Acetate

the relative polarities are given as

Methanol=0.762

Dichloromethane (methylene chloride)=0.309

Ethyl Acetate=0.228

So the numbers are given as

Methanol :1

Dichloromethane (methylene chloride):2

Ethyl Acetate:3

Reverse Phase Chromatography

In the reverse phase chromatography, the eluting power is highest for the solvent which has the lowest polarity.

So from the given solvents as diethyl ether , water and toluene

the relative polarities are given as

Diethyl ether=0.117

Water=1.0

Toluene=0.099

So the alphabets are given as

Toluene :A

Diethyl ether: B

Water:C

snow_lady [41]

Explanation:

a chemical reaction that absorbs energy is known to be endothermic since heat is being taken in by the reaction. The value of the transition state would be 150 because you have to subtract the product's enthalpy and the reactant's enthalpy to obtain it. A positive value for the transition state also corroborates that the reaction is endothermic.
