Reaction of phosphorous with h2so4 woth balanced chemical equation |
|
Answer» -step solution:Step 1 of 3THE unbalanced reaction between sulfuric acid and phosphorus to form sulfur dioxide, phosphoric acid and water is as follows:In order to balance this reaction, the oxygen atoms need to be BALANCED. Notice that all the oxygen in the reaction begins in sulfuric acid and is SPLIT between phosphoric acid and water. There is an even number of oxygen atoms on the LEFT side of the reaction, so there must be an even number of oxygen atoms on the right. Therefore, place a two in front of the water molecule to make the total number of oxygen atoms on the right an even number. |
