Write a balanced equation describing the reduction of H2SeO4 by SO2 to produce selenium. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Include states-of-matter under SATP conditions in your answer.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\mathbf{H_2SeO_{4(aq)} + 3SO_{2(aq)} + 2H_2O_{(l) } \to Se_{(s)} + 3H_2SO_{4(aq)} }[/tex]

Explanation:

We are to write a balanced equation from the information given above by including the states of their matter according to SATP conditions;

[tex]\mathbf{H_2SeO_{4(aq)} + 3SO_{2(aq)} + 2H_2O_{(l) } \to Se_{(s)} + 3H_2SO_{4(aq)} }[/tex]

From above;

The oxidizing agent is [tex]\mathbf{H_2SeO_{4(aq)} }[/tex]

The reducing agent is [tex]\mathbf{SO_{2(aq)} }[/tex]
