In the reaction h2co3 (aq) + 2nh3 (aq) = 2nh4^+ (aq) + co3 2- (aq), how many electrons are transferred? a. 1 b. 2 c. 3 d. 4 e. none of the above (this is not a redox reaction)

The electrons are transferred when the reaction is redox reaction. It means that there must be reduction and oxidation.

The given equation is

The oxidation number of each element remains the same before and after the reaction.

H = +1

C: +4

O: -2

N: -3

Thus this is simple acid base reaction and not redox

There is transfer of proton from bicarbonate to ammonia

this is not a redox reaction

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the formation of sulphuric acid is;

2SO2 + O2 + 2H2O → 2H2SO4

If 1 mole of SO2 occupies 22.4 L

x moles occupy 67.2 L

x = 1 × 67.2/22.4

x= 3 moles

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of SO2 yields 2 moles of H2SO4

Hence 3 moles of SO2 also yields 3 moles of H2SO4

Theoretical yield of H2SO4 = 3 moles × 98 g/mol = 294 g

Percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield = 250g/294g × 100

Percent yield = 85%
