Expert Solution
Step 1: Reaction (a) Balanced chemical equation

The given chemical reaction is :

  Ss + H2SO4aq → SO2g + H2Ol

Balancing the given chemical reaction :

  • Balancing Oxygen atoms:

There are 4 Oxygen atoms on reactants side and 3 Oxygen atoms on products side. So Multiplying H2O with 2 gives:

 Ss + H2SO4aq → SO2g + 2H2Ol

  • Balancing Hydrogen atoms:

There are 2 Hydrogen atoms on reactants side and 4 Hydrogen atoms on products side. So Multiplying H2SO4 with 2 gives:

 Ss + 2H2SO4aq → SO2g + 2H2Ol

  • Balancing Sulfur atoms:

There are 3 Sulfur atoms on reactants side and 1 Sulfur atom on products side. So Multiplying SO2 with 3 gives:

 S(s) + 2H2SO4(aq) → 3SO2(g) + 2H2O(l)

Number of atoms on reactants side is equal to the number of corresponding atoms on the products side

Therefore balanced form of chemical equation is:

 S(s) + 2H2SO4(aq) → 3SO2(g) + 2H2O(l)
