Question

In acidic solution, the iodate ion can be used to react with a number of metal ions. One such reaction is

IO3?(aq)+Sn2+(aq)?I?(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:

IO3?(aq)+Sn2+(aq)+     ????I?(aq)+Sn4+(aq)+     ???

PART A.)

What are the coefficients of the reactants and products in the balanced equation above? Remember to include H2O(l) and H+(aq) in the appropriate blanks. Your answer should have six terms.

Enter the equation coefficients in order separated by commas (e.g., 2,2,1,4,4,3).

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).

Explanation / Answer

Balanced chemical equation:

A balanced chemical equation is an equation that contains same number of atoms as well as of each element on each side of reaction

Equation co-efficient:

An equation co-efficient is a number that is placed to the left side of a chemical formula in a balance chemical equation.

In acidic solution, the iodate ion can be used to react with a number of metal ions. One such reaction is

IO3?(aq)+Sn2+(aq)?I?(aq)+Sn4+(aq)

reaction will be:

first half reaction

IO3^- .........>I-

IO3^- + 6H+ +6e-.........>I- + 3H2O............1

second half reaction

Sn+2 .......> Sn+4

Sn+2 .......> Sn+4 + 2e- .................2

Now add eq1. And eq.2 *3

1 IO3^- + 3Sn+2 + 6H+ .......> 1 I- + 3Sn+4 + 3H2O

Thus the coefficient are 1,3,6,1,3,3
