Mass Balance Equations (MBE) of H2S

UN Livestock Long Shadow Chapter 1 - CO2

Both of these involve reactions with hydrochloric acid and both involve interpretations from a graph, where kinetics is also tested. Question 5 looks at the reaction between CaCO3 and HCl and then determines the identity of M in M(OH)2. Question 6 looks at the reaction between Mg and HCl. Note that 9min30s into the snapkast I wrote the formula CaCl2 where I should have written CaCO3.

We'll go step by step through how to balance an oxidation reduction (redox) reaction in acidic solution. Most importantly, both charges and atoms must balance. Here are the steps: first, calculate oxidations numbers for all the elements in the equation. Next, figure out what is being oxidized and what is being reduced. Then, write half reactions for the oxidation and reduction. After that, balance each half reaction: first, for the atoms other than O and H, then for O and H, and finally for charge by adding electrons. After being balanced, the oxidation and reduction half reactions are ready to be added back to together. Make sure that the number of electrons is the same in the oxidation and reduction half reactions. If they are not, multiply one or both of the half reactions to make the number of electrons the same. Then, combine the oxidation and reduction half reaction, canceling out stuff that appears on both sides of the equation. Lastly, do a final check to make sure that everything balances: both atoms and charge.
