Generally, Sulfur will take on 2 electrons and make a -2 ion, unless it is in the presence of a highly electronegative atom like Oxygen then it can form a +6 ion.
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
- Balanced Equation; 2Fe + 3H₂SO₄ → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂
- Why balance?: To obey the law of conservation of mass
- Subscripts can not be changed, since they show the actual number of atoms of each element in a compound.
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- The balanced equation for the reaction between the iron metal and sulfuric acid to produces iron (III) sulfate and hydrogen gas is given by;
2Fe + 3H₂SO₄ → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂
- Balancing chemical equations ensures that they obey the law of conservation of mass which requires the mass of reactants and the mass of products to be equal.
- Balancing is done by putting coefficients on reactants and products while not affecting the subscripts as subscripts show the actual number of atoms of an element in a compound.
It would be C! An energy change. Usually it changes heat - could be less or more.
I hope all is well, and you pass! Good luck, rockstar! You got this. (:
