When hydrogen sulphide burns in fluorine,the oxidation state of sulphur changes from −2 to
When H2SO3 is converted into H2SO4 the change in the oxidation state of sulphur is from:
When the gases sulphur dioxide and hydrogen sulphide mix in the presence of water the reaction is :
SO2+2H2S=2H2O+3S
Here hydrogen sulphide is acting as :
A. Oxidizing agent
B. Reducing agent
Translate the following statements into chemical equations and then balance the equations :
(a) Hydrogen sulphide gas burns in air to give water and sulphur dioxide.
(b) Phosphorus burns in oxygen to give phosphorus pentoxide.
(c) Carbon disulphide burns in air to give carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
(d) Aluminium metal replaces iron from ferric oxide, Fe2O3 , giving aluminium oxide and iron.
(e) Barium chloride reacts with zinc sulphate to give zine chloride and barium sulphate.
Hydrogen sulphide gas burns in oxygen to yield 12.8 g of sulphur dioxide gas as under: 2H2S + 3O2 → 2H2O + 2SO2 (i). calculate the volume of hydrogen suulphide at STP. Also, (ii). calculate the volume of oxygen required at STP. Which will complete the combustion of hydrogen sulphide determined in litres.
