HNO₃ + H₂S → S + NO + H₂<span>O
Assign Oxidation Number:
L.H.S R.H.S
N in HNO</span>₃ = +5 +2 = N in NO
S in H₂S = -2 0 = S in S
Write Half cell Reactions:
Reduction Reaction:
3e⁻ + HNO₃ → NO -------(1)
Oxidation Reaction:
H₂S → S + 2e⁻ -------(2)
Multiply eq. 1 with 2 and eq. 2 with 3 to balance electrons.
6e⁻ + 2 HNO₃ → 2 NO
3 H₂S → 3 S + 6e⁻
Cancel e⁻s,
______________________________
2 HNO₃ + 3 H₂S → 2 NO + 3 S + H₂O
Balance Oxygen Atoms by multiplying H₂O with 4, Hydrogen atoms will automatically get balance.
2 HNO₃ + 3 H₂S → 2 NO + 3 S + 4H₂O
A large atom means that the radius would be large, meaning that the effective nuclear charge is low, therefore a lower electronegativity based on the periodic table. A smaller atom would mean the opposite, therefore a higher electronegativity. This combination would mean that the new molecule is polar.
Also, to answer your question, it would be most likely different from both atoms, as size doesn't really matter in a compound's properties.
Answer:
Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, but don't let this distract you from the fact that Mr. Krabs sold SpongeBob's soul for 62 cents
