Valency is the number of electrons lost or gained by an atom to attain an stable configuration. Valency is important when writing the formula of chemical compounds in chemistry. Strontium has a valency of 2 while sulfite ion (radicle) has a valency of 2. Therefore, the chemical formula of strontium sulfite is written as SrSO3.
<u>Answer:</u> The final equation has hydroxide ions which indicate that the reaction has occurred in a basic medium.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously.
The oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species loses electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when the oxidation number of a species increases.
A reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species gains electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when the oxidation number of a species decreases.
The given redox reaction follows:

To balance the given redox reaction in basic medium, there are few steps to be followed:
- Writing the given oxidation and reduction half-reactions for the given equation with the correct number of electrons
Oxidation half-reaction: 
Reduction half-reaction: 
- Multiply each half-reaction by the correct number in order to balance charges for the two half-reactions
Oxidation half-reaction:
( × 3)
Reduction half-reaction:
( × 2)
The half-reactions now become:
Oxidation half-reaction: 
Reduction half-reaction: 
- Add the equations and simplify to get a balanced equation
Overall redox reaction: 
As we can see that in the overall redox reaction, hydroxide ions are released in the solution. Thus, making it a basic solution
The bubbles that were observed after the mixing of the two substances is one of the products of the reaction. It is the carbon dioxide that is produced. To determine the mass of this gas produced, we need to remember the Law of conservation of mass where mass cannot be created or destroyed. With this, we can say that the total mass that goes in a process should be equal to the mass that is goes out of the process no matter what the reaction is. We do as follows:
Mass of reactants = mass of products
11.00 + 44.55 = 51.04 + mass of carbon dioxide
mass of carbon dioxide = 4.51 g
Answer:
A Graduated Cylinder has a limited round and hollow shape with each stamped line demonstrating the volume of fluid being estimated. While they are commonly more exact and exact than lab flagons and recepticles, they ought not be utilized to perform volumetric examination.
