In acidic solution, the sulfate ion can be used to react with a number of metal ions. One such reaction is SO42−(aq)+Sn2+(aq)→H2

allsm [11]

Answer:

The final balanced equation is :

$SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)+Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)+Sn^{4+}(aq)$

Explanation:

$SO_4^{2-}(aq)+Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+Sn^{4+}(aq)$

Balancing in acidic medium:

First we will determine the oxidation and reduction reaction from the givne reaction :

Oxidation:

$Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)$

Balance the charge by adding 2 electrons on product side:

$Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)+2e^-$ ....[1]

Reduction :

$SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)$

Balance O by adding water on required side:

$SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)$

Now, balance H by adding $H^+$ on the required side:

$SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)$

At last balance the charge by adding electrons on the side where positive charge is more:

$SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)$ ..[2]

Adding [1] and [2]:

$SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)+Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)+Sn^{4+}(aq)$

The final balanced equation is :

$SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)+Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)+Sn^{4+}(aq)$

A runner travels at a constant speed of 4 m/s. What happens to the velocity of the runner when the runner changes direction?

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

4m/s in the direction of the turn

Explanation:

The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference.

Assuming the runner stays the same speed as he turns, his velocity will be 4m/s in the speed he turns.

The substance water always has a mass ratio of 11% H to 89% O. If 5.00g of a substance containing H and O was decomposed into .2

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

No the substance is not water.

Explanation:

The balance chemical equation for the decomposition of water is as follow;

2 H₂O = 2 H₂ + O₂

Step 1: Calculate moles of H₂O;

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 5.0 g / 18.01 g/mol

Moles = 0.277 moles of H₂O

Step 2: Calculate Moles of O₂ and H₂ produced by 0.277 moles of H₂O:

According to equation,

2 moles of H₂O produced = 1 mole of O₂

So,

0.277 moles of H₂O will produce = X moles of O₂

Solving for X,

X = 0.277 mol × 1 mol / 2 mol

X = 0.138 moles of O₂

Also,

According to equation,

2 moles of H₂O produced = 2 mole of H₂

So,

0.277 moles of H₂O will produce = X moles of H₂

Solving for X,

X = 0.277 mol × 2 mol / 2 mol

X = 0.227 moles of H₂

Step 3: Calculate Mass of O₂ and H₂ as;

For O₂:

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 0.138 mol × 31.99 g/mol

Mass = 4.44 g of O₂

For H₂:

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 0.227 mol × 2.01 g/mol

Mass = 0.559 g of H₂

Conclusion:

From conclusion it is proved that the amount of H₂ produced by decomposition of 5 g of water should be 0.559 g while in statement it is less i.e. 0.290 g.
