Explanation / Answer

Question 1.

3H2S + 2H+ + 2NO3- --> 3S(s) + 2NO(g) + 4H2O(l)

a)

element being reduced?

It must be the species GAINING electrons, so

N goes from +5 in NO3- to +2 in NO2, it gains 3 electrons

this is REDUCING

b)

the species being oxidized is

S, since

it goes form -2 in H2S, to 0 in S(s)

so it loses 2 electrons

c)

the numebr of Aluminium produced in t = 10 mins = 10*60 = 600 seconds in electrolysis at I = 7 A = 7 C/s

total charge:

C = I*t = 600*7 = 4200 C

1 mol of e- = 96500 C

x mol of e- =  4200 C

mol of e- = 4200/96500 = 0.0435 mol of e-

1 mol of Al+3 requires 3 mol fo e-

so

0.0435 mol of e- --> 1/3*0.0435 = 0.0145 mol of Al

mass = mol*MW = 0.0145*26.99 = 0.391355 g of Al produced
