(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given equation has to be written complete and balanced

Concept Introduction:

Balancing the equation:

  • There is a Law for conversion of mass in a chemical reaction i.e., the mass of total amount of the product should be equal to the total mass of the reactants.
  • The concept of writing a balanced chemical reaction is depends on conversion of reactants into products.
  • First write the reaction from the given information.
  • Then count the number of atoms of each element in reactants as well as products.
  • Finally obtained values could place it as coefficients of reactants as well as products.
  • Loss of electron and loss of Hydrogen in a compound is oxidation - the compound is oxidized.  Gain of electron, gain of Oxygen in a compound is reduction - the compound is reduced.
  • Oxidation reduction and reduction reaction occur simultaneously in same reaction.

To Write: The given equation complete and balanced.

Answer to Problem 21.115QP

The complete and balanced equation for the given equation is:

Al2O3(s) + 3H2SO4(aq) Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 3H2O(l)

Explanation of Solution

Given Equation:

Al2O3(s) + H2SO4(aq)

Complete Equation:

A complete equation will have same elements present on both sides of the equation.

The above equation can be completed by writing as follows,

Al2O3(s) + H2SO4(aq) Al2(SO4)3(aq) + H2O(l)

Balancing the equation:

A balanced equation will have same elements and same number of atoms of each side of the reaction.

List the atoms of the equation in a table and check for the equal number of atoms present on either side of the reaction.

Al2O3(s) + H2SO4(aq) Al2(SO4)3(aq) + H2O(l)

Reactant side Atom Product side
2 Al 2
7 O 13
2 H 2
1 S 3

To balance the above equation, multiply H2SO4 on the reactant side and H2O on the product side by three.

Al2O3(s) + 3H2SO4(aq) Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 3H2O(l)

Again, list the atoms of the equation in a table and check for the equal number of atoms present on either side of the reaction.

Reactant side Atom Product side
2 Al 2
15 O 15
6 H 6
3 S 3

The number of atoms on both sides of the reaction are same. Therefore, the above equation is a balanced one.

Hence, the complete and balanced form of the given equation is written as:

Al2O3(s) + 3H2SO4(aq) Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 3H2O(l)

Conclusion

The complete and balanced equation of the given equation is written as:

Al2O3(s) + 3H2SO4(aq) Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 3H2O(l)
