Write two balanced chemical equations in which sulfuric acid acts as an oxidizing agent.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The two balanced chemical equations are:

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{1) Sn}}(s) + 2{{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_4}(aq) \to {\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_2}(g) + 2{{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{O}}(l) + S{\rm{O}}_4^{2 - }(aq) + {\rm{S}}{{\rm{n}}^{2 + }}(aq).\\2)C(s) + 2{H_2}{\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_4}(aq) \to {\rm{C}}{{\rm{O}}_2}(g) + 2{\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_2}(g) + 2{{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{O}}(l).\end{array}\)
