Accepted Answer

predict the products form from a following gas evolution equation. So here we have potassium sulfide reacting with sulfuric acid. We know that in step one we have to break up, reacted one and reacting to into their ionic forms. So what we're gonna do here is we're gonna break up potassium sulfite into the potassium ion. It's a group one A. So it's plus one Sall fight is a poly atomic ion. So it's s 03 to minus. Then we have sulfuric acid, so this would just be h plus one and sulfate ion is s 04 to minus. Now, remember, we're going to swamp Ionic Partners because opposite charges attract so this plus one would be attracted to this new minus two. Here, This minus two would be attracted to this new plus one. Now, remember, when we are reacting or two ions are attracted to one another, If the numbers in the charges are not the same, they don't just simply cancel out. Instead, they crisscross with one will come over here, the two will come over here That's going to give us K two s 04 now, remember, based on our Saudi ability rules. Potassium is a group one. A element. Anything connected to a group element is going to be soluble. So this would be a kiss. Plus again, The number here in the number here they don't match. They're gonna crisscross. So too comes here, and one comes here. That's gonna give us hte to s 03 acquis. Remember, this represents sulfurous acid. This is one of our median products. Remember our medium products. We're gonna subtract water from it. So when we subtract water from it, whatever is left behind will be our gas. We know that's attracting water from sulfurous acid will give us, of course, our water as a liquid, plus the remainder as eso to gas. So these will represent our products that are formed in this gas evolution equation. Now look to see. Is everything balanced? We have two. Potassium is here and to potassium is here. We have eso four here, asshole. For here we have two. Hydrogen is here to hydrogen is here and then s Here's s 02 plus one more oxygen makes that s So everything's already balanced. So all the coefficients in front of each one of these compounds would just be a one. So this represents our balance. Gas evolution equal
