determine the product and balance the equation (i) NaC2H3O2+H2So4=??
Answers
H2SO4 + 2NaC2H3O2 → Na2SO4 + 2HC2H3O2
Explanation:
H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) + 2NaC2H3O2 (sodium acetate)→ Na2SO4(sodium sulfate)+ 2HC2H3O2(acetic acid)
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between NaC2H3O2 (sodium acetate) and H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) is:
NaC2H3O2 + H2SO4 → NaHSO4 + HC2H3O2
The products of this reaction are NaHSO4 (sodium hydrogen sulfate) and HC2H3O2 (acetic acid).
To balance the equation, we need to make sure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. In this case, we can balance the equation by adding a coefficient of 1 in front of NaC2H3O2, 1 in front of H2SO4, 1 in front of NaHSO4, and 1 in front of HC2H3O2:
NaC2H3O2 + H2SO4 → NaHSO4 + HC2H3O2
This balanced equation shows that one mole of NaC2H3O2 reacts with one mole of H2SO4 to produce one mole of NaHSO4 and one mole of HC2H3O2.
