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

Explain how hydrogen bonding contributes to water's high heat of vaporization
pashok25 [27]

The heat/enthalpy of vaporization of water represents the energy input required to convert one mole of water into vapor at a constant temperature. Intermolecular forces including hydrogen bondings of significant strength hold water molecules in place under its liquid state. Whereas the molecules experience almost no intermolecular interactions under the gaseous state- consider the way noble gases molecules interact. It is thus necessary to supply sufficient energy to overcome all intermolecular interactions present in the substance under its liquid state to convert the substance into a gas. The heat of vaporization is thus related to the strength of the intermolecular interactions.

Water molecules contain hydrogen atoms bonded directly to oxygen atoms. Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative and take major control of electrons in hydrogen-oxygen bonds. Hydrogen atoms in water molecules thus experience a strong partial-positive charge and would attract lone pairs of electron on neighboring water molecules. "Hydrogen bonds" refer to the attraction between hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative elements and lone pairs of electrons. The hydrogen-oxygen bonds in water molecules are so polarized that hydrogen bonds in water are stronger than both dipole-dipole interactions and London Dispersion Forces in most other molecules. It thus take high amounts of energy to separate water molecules sufficiently apart such that they no longer experience intermolecular interactions and behave collectively like a gas. As a result, water has one of the highest heat of vaporization among covalent molecules of similar sizes.

The molar concentration will be greater than 0.01 M KIO_{3}.


Since more of the compound was measured out than what was calculated, you can think of the solution as being 'stronger' than what it was calculated to be. Since a 'stronger' concentration results in a number that is higher, the molarity of this solution is going to be greater than 0.01 M.

As a child (with a mass of 35.0 kg) you take your 5.0-kg sled to Orchard Downs. If you are sliding down the hill on your sled, w
alukav5142 [94]

Velocity = 3.61 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass of child = 35 kg

mass of sled = 5 kg

Kinetic energy = 260 J

Required

velocity

Solution

Energy because its motion is expressed as Kinetic energy (KE) which can be formulated as:

KE = 1/2.mv²

mass of object :

= mass child + mass sled

= 35 kg + 5 kg

= 40 kg

Input the value :

v²=KE : 1/2.m

v²= 260 : 1/2.40 kg

v²=13

v=3.61 m/s

Answer:

solution:-a homogenous mixture of two or more substances in relative amounts that can be varied continuously up to what is called the limit of solubility.

solute:-is a substance, usually a solid, that is dissolved in a solution, which is usually a liquid.

solvent:-substance, ordinarily a liquid, in which other materials dissolve to form a solution.

polar molecule:-is a molecule in which one end of the molecule is slightly positive, while the other end is slightly negative.

Nonpolar molecules occur when electrons are shared equal between atoms of a diatomic molecule or when polar bonds in a larger molecule cancel each other out.

concentration refers to the amount of a substance in a defined space.
