the number of Valence electrons remains the same
Valence electrons are the electrons located in the outermost shell
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
The pressure of the gas in the flask (in atm) when Δh = 5.89 cm is 1.04 atm
<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
The following data were obtained from the question:
- Atmospheric pressure (Pa) = 730.1 torr = 730.1 mmHg
- Change in height (Δh) = 5.89 cm
- Pressure due to Δh (PΔh) = 5.89 cmHg = 5.89 × 10 = 58.9 mmHg
- Pressure of gas (P) =?
<h3>How to determine the pressure of the gas</h3>
The pressure of the gas can be obtained as illustrated below:
P = Pa + PΔh
P = 730.1 + 58.9
P = 789 mmHg
Divide by 760 to express in atm
P = 789 / 760
P = 1.04 atm
Thus, the pressure of the gas when Δh = 5.89 cm is 1.04 atm
