alexira [117]

Answer:

$SO_{3}^{2-}(aq.)+2OH^{-}(aq.)\rightarrow SO_{4}^{2-}(aq.)+H_{2}O(l)+2e^{-}$

Explanation:

The given reaction is an example of oxidation reaction. The step-by-step balancing procedure has been shown below:

Chemical equation: $SO_{3}^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow SO_{4}^{2-}(aq.)$

Balance H and O in basic medium: $SO_{3}^{2-}(aq.)+2OH^{-}(aq.)\rightarrow SO_{4}^{2-}(aq.)+H_{2}O(l)$

Balance charge: $SO_{3}^{2-}(aq.)+2OH^{-}(aq.)\rightarrow SO_{4}^{2-}(aq.)+H_{2}O(l)+2e^{-}$

Balanced chemical equation:

$SO_{3}^{2-}(aq.)+2OH^{-}(aq.)\rightarrow SO_{4}^{2-}(aq.)+H_{2}O(l)+2e^{-}$
