ns:
•2H2S(g) + SO2(g) -> 2H2O(l) + 3S(s)

•SO2(g) +H2O(l) +NaClO(aq) -> NaCl(aq) + H2SO4(aq)

Answer:

A) oxidizing agent is SO2

B) NaClO is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

A) This is a redox reaction in which oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously.

Thus, in 2H2S(g) + SO2(g) -> 2H2O(l) + 3S(s);

H2S is reduced as follows;

H2S → S + 2H+ + 2e−

We can see that SO2 has been reduced while H2S gets oxidized since it has changed state from - 2 to 0 . Thus sulphur dioxide is the oxidizing agent.

B) SO2(g) + H2O(l) + NaClO(aq) -> NaCl(aq) + H2SO4(aq)

In this, SO2 undergoes oxidation and NaClO is the oxidizing agent

Calculate the molecular weight of a substance. In which the solution of this substance in the water has a concentration of 7 per
Eduardwww [97]

Answer : The molecular weight of a substance is 157.3 g/mol

Explanation :

As we are given that 7 % by weight that means 7 grams of solute present in 100 grams of solution.

Mass of solute = 7 g

Mass of solution = 100 g

Mass of solvent = 100 - 7 = 93 g

Formula used :  

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m\\\\T_f^o-T_f=k_f\times\frac{\text{Mass of substance(solute)}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of substance(solute)}\times \text{Mass of water(solvent)}}

where,

\Delta T_f = change in freezing point

T_f^o = temperature of pure water = 0^oC

T_f = temperature of solution = -0.89^oC

K_f = freezing point constant of water = 1.86^oC/m

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

(0-(-0.89))^oC=1.86^oC/m\times \frac{7g\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of substance(solute)}\times 93g}

\text{Molar mass of substance(solute)}=157.3g/mol

Therefore, the molecular weight of a substance is 157.3 g/mol

Complete the balanced neutralization equation
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

2 HC₂H₃O₂(aq) + Sr(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Sr(C₂H₃O₂)₂(aq) + 2 H₂O

Explanation:

Let's consider the reaction between acetic acid and strontium hydroxide. This is a neutralization reaction, in which an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water. The unbalanced equation is:

HC₂H₃O₂(aq) + Sr(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Sr(C₂H₃O₂)₂(aq) + H₂O

We have 1 acetate ion to the left and 2 to the right, so we will multiply HC₂H₃O₂(aq) by 2.

2 HC₂H₃O₂(aq) + Sr(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Sr(C₂H₃O₂)₂(aq) + H₂O

Finally, we multiply water by 2 to get the balanced equation.

2 HC₂H₃O₂(aq) + Sr(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Sr(C₂H₃O₂)₂(aq) + 2 H₂O
