hydrogen sulphide + oxygen -> water + sulphur oxide?

Question

Okay I don't get this, if someone answers my questions I'll give them 10 points. I get everything except the sulphur oxide. I know they are covalent bonds, but why doesn't oxide have 'mono'? Would the sulphur oxide be S2O2, then reducing it be SO, or S2O, I'm confused. I don't get the covalent bonding, would the diatomic apply to covalent bonds? For example if both elements are negatives, such as sulphur and oxygen, when you combine them would oxygen have a 2 because its diatomic but then shouldn't it say dioxide why does it only say sulphur oxide? Okay so would the UNbalance equation be HS + O2 = H2O + SO?

Answer 1

Yes the given problem does have typos in it, it should be sulphur dioxide you are CORRECT. But hydrogen sulphide is H2S instead of HS
the reaction is supposed to be H2S + 3/2 O2 --> H2O + SO2
OR multiply it by 2 you'll have 2H2S + 3O2 --> 2H2O + 2SO2.

Answer 3

I can assure you the combustion of hydrogen sulphide and oxygen at common conditions of temperature and pressure, yields water vapor and sulphur dioxide. This is:

2H2S + 3O2 = 2H2O + 2SO2

Saying sulphur oxide is a generalization, but one must know what the reaction results given the conditions of concentration, temperature, pressure, presence of catalyst, etc. another possibility is that with enough oxygen activity, temperature and catalyst, this reactions results in water vapor and sulfur trioxide, which immediately transforms into sulphuric acid, but odd special conditions are required.

1) Zinc Chloride + Ammonium Sulfide --> Zinc Sulfide + Ammonium Chloride. ZnCl2 + (NH4)2S --> ZnS + 2NH4Cl 2) Magnesium + Oxygen --> Magnesium Oxide. 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO 3) Aluminum + hydrochloric acid --> Aluminum chloride + hydrogen. 2Al + 6HCl --> 2AlCl3 + 3H2 4) Sodium Oxide + Sulfur Dioxide --> Sodium Sulfite Na2O + SO2 --> Na2SO3 5) Phosphoric Acid --> Diphosphorus pentoxide + Water. 2H3PO4 --> P2O5 + 3H2O Hope this helps:-)

Answer 5

i can't answer this.. haven't started chemistry yet. but im pretty sure its ok to have negative combining capacity react and create compounds with other negative elements. Also, shoudn't it be sulfure dioxide?

Answer 6

ZnCl2 + (NH4)2S yields ZnS + 2NH4Cl 2Mg(s) +O2(g) yields 2MgO 2Al(s) + 6HCl(aq) yields 2AlCl3 +3H2(g) Na2O + SO2 yields Na2SO3 2H3PO4(aq) yields P2O5 + 3H2O
