In acidic solution, the sulfate ion can be used to react with a number of metal ions. One such reaction is SO42−(aq)+Sn2+(aq)→H2SO3(aq)+Sn4+(aq) Since this reaction takes place in acidic solution, H2O(l) and H+(aq) will be involved in the reaction. Places for these species are indicated by the blanks in the following restatement of the equation: SO42−(aq)+Sn2+(aq)+ –––→H2SO3(aq)+Sn4+(aq)+ ––– Part B What are the coefficients of the reactants and products in the balanced equation above? Remember to include H2O(l) and OH−(aq) in the blanks where appropriate. Your answer should have six terms. Enter the equation coefficients in order separated by commas (e.g., 2,2,1,4,4,3). Include coefficients of 1, as required, for grading purposes.

Answer:

The final balanced equation is :

[tex]SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)+Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)+Sn^{4+}(aq)[/tex]

Explanation:

[tex]SO_4^{2-}(aq)+Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+Sn^{4+}(aq) [/tex]

Balancing in acidic medium:

First we will determine the oxidation and reduction reaction from the givne reaction :

Oxidation:

[tex]Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)[/tex]

Balance the charge by adding 2 electrons on product side:

[tex]Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)+2e^-[/tex]....[1]

Reduction :

[tex]SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq) [/tex]

Balance O by adding water on required side:

[tex]SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l) [/tex]

Now, balance H by adding [tex]H^+[/tex] on the required side:

[tex]SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l) [/tex]

At last balance the charge by adding electrons on the side where positive charge is more:

[tex]SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l) [/tex]..[2]

Adding [1] and [2]:

[tex]SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)+Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)+Sn^{4+}(aq)[/tex]

The final balanced equation is :

[tex]SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)+Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)+Sn^{4+}(aq)[/tex]
