Question

Balance the following equation: h) $S + H_{2} S O_{4} \to S O_{2} + H_{2} O$

Open in App

Solution

The skeletal equation is:
$S + H_{2} S O_{4} \to S O_{2} + H_{2} O$

To equalize O, multiply H2O by 2

$S + H_{2} S O_{4} \to S O_{2} + 2 H_{2} O$

To equalize H, multiply $H_{2} S O_{4}$ by 2

$S + 2 H_{2} S O_{4} \to S O_{2} + 2 H_{2} O$

To equalize S and O, multiply $S O_{2}$ by 3.

$S + 2 H_{2} S O_{4} \to 3 S O_{2} + 2 H_{2} O$
The equation is balanced
