Expert Solution

2Al(s) + 3H2SO4(aq) -------------> Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 3H2(g)

Oxidation : 2 Al   -------------> Al2(SO4)3

                   0                           +3           --------------> oxidation state

reduction : H2SO4 -----------> H2  

                    +1                        0            --------------> oxidation state

element Oxidized : Al

Reduced : H2

Oxidizing agent : H2

reducing agent : Al

B) 5S + 6KNO3 + 2CaCO3 -> 3K2SO4 + 2CaSO4 + CO2 + 3N2

Oxidation : 5 S -----------> K2SO4

reduction : KNO3 -----------> N2

oxidized : S

reduced : KNO3

oxidizing agent = KNO3

reducing agent = S

Redox titrations are used to determine the amounts of oxidizing and reducing agents in solution. For example, a solution of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, can be titrated against a solution of potassium permanganate, KMnO4. The following equation represents the reaction: 2KMnO4(aq)+H2O2(aq)+3H2SO4(aq)→3O2(g)+2MnSO4(aq)+K2SO4(aq)+4H2O(l) A certain amount of hydrogen peroxide was dissolved in 100. mL of water and then titrated with 1.68 M KMnO4. What mass of H2O2 was dissolved if the titration required 21.3 mL of the KMnO4 solution?
