Question

complete and balance the equation for this reaction in acidic solution.

General Chemistry 4th Edition niversity science BOoks presented by Sapling Leaming Complete and balance the equation for this reaction in acidic solution. Zns(s)+2NO,(aq) + 8H + (aq) 3Zn2 + (aq)+3S(s)+2NO(g) +4H,O(z) Tip: If you need to clear your work and reset the equation, click the button that looks like two red arrows. Which element got... Which species was the... oxidized? reduced? oxidizing agent? reducing agent? O NOs

Explanation / Answer

balanced equation:

3ZnS(s) + 2NO3^-(aq) + 8H^+(aq) ----> 3Zn^2+(aq) + 3S(s) + 2NO(g) + 4H2O(l)

a) Element got oxidized=S(sulfur, from -2 to 0)

b) Element got reduced=N(Nitrogen, from +5 to +2)

c) Oxidizing agent = NO3-

d) Reducing agent = ZnS or S^2-
