B) Equal to the number of protons
Hey there !
Mole ratio :
<span>2 KMnO4 + 16 HCl → 2 KCl + 2 MnCl2 + 8 H2O + 5 Cl2
2 moles KMnO4 ----------------- 8 moles H2O
3.45 moles KMnO4 ------------- (moles H2O )
Moles H2O = 3.45 * 8 / 2
Moles H2O = 27.6 / 2
= 13.8 moles of H2O
</span>The option that was given is wrong , <span>You're right.</span>
Answer:
The incorrect statement is: SO₂ gains electrons
Explanation:
A chemical reaction that involves the simultaneous transfer of electrons between two chemical species, is known as the redox reaction.
Given chemical reaction: 2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2SO₃(g)
In this redox reaction, S is present in +4 oxidation state in SO₂ and +6 oxidation state SO₃. Whereas, O is present in 0 oxidation state in O₂ and -2 oxidation state in SO₃.
<u>Therefore, SO₂ loses electrons and thus gets oxidized. Whereas, O₂ gains electrons and thus gets reduced. </u>
<u>In this reaction, SO₂ is the reducing agent and O₂ is the oxidizing agent.</u>
PbCl₂(s) ⇄ Pb²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)
Pb(CH₃COO)₂(s) → Pb²⁺(aq) + 2CH₃COO⁻(aq)
At lead acetate disolution, concentration of lead cations will increase. According to Le Chatelie's principle equilibrium will be displaced towards formation of solid lead chloride.
