Answer:

C

Explanation:

The oxidation number of Sulphur in SO4^2- is;

x + 4(-2) = -2

x - 8 = -2

x = -2 + 8

x = 6

Now,

the oxidation number of sulphur in H2SO3 is

2 (1) + x + 3(-2) = 0

2 + x -6 = 0

-4 + x = 0

x = 4

Hence, the oxidation number of sulphur changed from +6 to +4 which signifies  gain of two electrons as shown in option C.

19.3 g of cadmium hydroxide reacted with 15.21 g of hydrobromic acid. How many grams of water can be made?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

m_{H_2O}=3.384gH_2O

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the chemical reaction is:

Cd(OH)_2+2HBr\rightarrow CdBr_2+2H_2O

Thus, we first identify the limiting reactant by computing the yielded moles of water by both of the reactants:

n_{H_2O}^{by\ Cd(OH)_2}=19.3gCd(OH)_2*\frac{1molCd(OH)_2}{146.4gCd(OH)_2}*\frac{2molH_2O}{1molCd(OH)_2}=0.264molH_2O\\\\n_{H_2O}^{by\ HBr}=15.21gHBr*\frac{1molHBr}{80.9gHBr}*\frac{2molH_2O}{2molHBr}=0.188molH_2O

In such a way, since HBr yields less water than cadmium hydroxide, we infer that HBr is the limiting one, therefore, the yielded mass of water are:

m_{H_2O}=0.188molH_2O*\frac{18gH_2O}{1molH_2O}\\ \\m_{H_2O}=3.384gH_2O

Regards.
