8 0

Answer:

8 should be placed in front of SO₂.

Explanation:

The easiest way to solve this question is by writing the <u>entire</u> balanced equation:

4FeS₂ + 11O₂ -> 2Fe₂O₃ + 8SO₂

We can achieve this by first balancing the Fe, then S, and finally the O.

We can also double check our answer by counting the number of each element on both sides:

-Reactants: 4 Fe, 8 S, 22 O

-Products: 4 Fe 8 S, 22 O

Since they match, our equation is balanced, and the coefficient in front of SO₂ is 8.

The compound CaSO4 ionizes into a calcium ion and a sulfate ion (SO4). Calcium has two electrons in its outer shell. Upon ioniza

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

-2

Explanation:

Calcium is the element of second group and forth period. The electronic configuration of Calcium is - 2, 8, 8, 2 or $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2$

There are 2 valence electrons of Calcium.

Thus, calcium loses two electrons to sulfate ion and sulfate ion accepts these electrons to form ionic bond.

Calcium sulfate, $CaSO_4$ is formed when 2 valence electrons of calcium are loosed and they are gained by sulfate ion.

$Ca^{2+}+SO_4^{2-}\rightarrow CaSO_4$

Thus, the charge on the sulfate ion is -2.
