Question

Aqueous ammonium sulfate reacts with aqueous chromium(III) nitrate, forming aqueous ammonium nitrate and a precipitate of chromium(III) sulfate. Balance the equation for this reaction

Answer 1

3(NH₄)₂SO₄(aq) + 2Cr(NO₃)₃(aq) → 6NH₄NO₃(aq) + Cr₂(SO₄)₃(s)↓

Step-by-step explanation:

• Aqueous ammonium sulfate reacts with aqueous chromium(III) nitrate, forming aqueous ammonium nitrate and a precipitate of chromium(III) sulfate according to the balanced equation:

3(NH₄)₂SO₄(aq) + 2Cr(NO₃)₃(aq) → 6NH₄NO₃(aq) + Cr₂(SO₄)₃(s)↓

3.0 moles of ammonium sulfate reacts with 2.0 moles of chromium(III) nitrate, forming 6.0 moles of ammonium nitrate and 1.0 mole of chromium(III) sulfate.
