Answer:
Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) + 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 I⁻(aq) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) + SO₂(g)
Explanation:
<em>Give the complete ionic equation for the reaction (if any) that occurs when aqueous solutions of MgSO₃ and HI are mixed.</em>
When MgSO₃ reacts with HI they experience a double displacement reaction, in which the cations and anions of each compound are exchanged, forming H₂SO₃ and MgI₂. At the same time, H₂SO₃ tends to decompose to H₂O and SO₂. The complete molecular equation is:
MgSO₃(aq) + 2 HI(aq) ⇄ MgI₂(aq) + H₂O(l) + SO₂(g)
In the complete ionic equation, species with ionic bonds dissociate into ions.
Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) + 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 I⁻(aq) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) + SO₂(g)
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Temperature is directly related to kinetic energy (KE). As we raise temperature, we are raising KE, as well. Particles with more KE move more quickly and with more force.
This means that these particles are more likely to collide with each other and react to allow the chemical reaction to follow through. In turn, if the chemical reaction is more likely to go to completion, the reaction rate increases, eliminating A and B.
The concentration of the solute is not affected by the temperature; in other words, temperature will not increase or decrease the amount of solute in the solution, so eliminate D.
Thus the answer is C.
Hope this helps!
