guys .. what are all the equations u need to know for the production of sulphuric acid?

S + 02 --> SO2

2SO2 + O2 <--> 2SO3  (at 1atm. pressure, 450'C nd vanadium (V) oxide catalyst)

SO3 + H2SO4 --> H2S2O7

H2S2O7 + H2O --> 2H2SO4
I swear exams are going to be the end of me someday

Hello ppl,
i have this question from the Igcse chem guide topic11 on pgno.56.
For the followin redox reaction write half equations, showing the electron transfer. Then identify the change which is oxidation an the reactant which is the reducing agent. Give reasn for each ans.

i knw the answers n the 1st part of forming an equation is not the prob. i have a prob wid the 2nd part, i'm not able to understand the explaination given in the ans behind. It says I- is the reducing agent but i think it is wrong.

If u think the ans given is right then plz explain me.
Hope u got my question!!
I am...what I am...because of the people around me..

Hey buzywidbizworld

first of all the answer given at the back is right!
now the explanation:
the equation for Iodine is : 2I- - 2e- ---> I2
now as u can see the iodine is losing electrons and is thus oxidised(oil rig)
Whenever a substance is oxidised, it acts as a reducing agent
reason: because it is losing the electrons, which will later be gained by Cl to be reduced, therefore it is aiding Chlorine in getting reduced.
Do u get what i am trying to say?
Basically, always remember that whichever ion gets reduced acts as the oxidising agent and whichever gets oxidised acts as a reducing agent.

Tell me if you still didn't understand
AAL IZZ WELL!!! ;)

Write an ionic equation for the precipitation of the insoluble salt, silver(I) chloride.

answer this if ne body can!!!

hey guys plss answer:

out of Scandium, Iron, Tin, and Mercury
why is Mercury the best oxidising agent agent and Scandium the best reducing agent?>?>?

Hey aditoxic!
Thanks alottt dude. I'm clear wid the ans nw. This concept of oxidation n reduction is tooo confusin for me but nw i hav got it.

once agn Thanks alot :)

TO AADI

Oxidation is loss of electrons

Reduction is gain.

An oxidising agent will gain electrons in the process

A reducing agen will lose electron in the process

So scandium has the lowest number of electrons, so it will be more prone to lose them. Thus best reducing agent.

Mercury needs one more electron to make full shell, so will be more prone to gain electrons. Thus best oxidising agent.

mercury is least reactive nd scandium the most!!
so whenever scandium reacts it reduces the others!!
and also when mercury reacts it takes up oxygel

like mercuryoxide+Mg=MErcury+MgO2!!!
samjha!!
