Balance the chemical equations in Exercise 5-10 using the vector equation approach discussed in this section.\(\left( {KMn{O_4}} \right)\)

The following reaction between potassium permanganate and manganese sulfate in water produces manganese dioxide, potassium sulfate and sulfuric acid:

\(KMn{O_4} + MnS{O_4} + {H_2}O \to Mn{O_2} + {K_2}S{O_4} + {H_2}S{O_4}\)

[For each compound, construct a vector that lists the numbers of atoms of potassium (K), manganese, oxygen, sulfur and hydrogen.]

Expert verified

\(2{\rm{KMn}}{{\rm{O}}_4} + 3{\rm{MnS}}{{\rm{O}}_4} + 2{{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{O}} \to 5{\rm{Mn}}{{\rm{O}}_2} + {{\rm{K}}_2}{\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_4} + 2{{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_4}\)

Step by step solution

01

Formation of vectors for the number of atoms of chemicals

The number of atoms of a chemical compound participating in the chemical reaction can be represented in the form of vectors.

The following vectors represent the number of atoms of potassium (K), manganese (Mn), oxygen (O), sulfur (S), and hydrogen (H) for the chemical compounds participating in the chemical reaction.

\({\rm{KMn}}{{\rm{O}}_4}:\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1\\1\\4\\0\\0\end{array}} \right]\), \({\rm{MnS}}{{\rm{O}}_4}{\rm{:}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\1\\4\\1\\0\end{array}} \right]\), \({{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{O}}:\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\0\\1\\0\\2\end{array}} \right]\), \({\rm{Mn}}{{\rm{O}}_2}{\rm{:}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\1\\2\\0\\0\end{array}} \right]\), \({{\rm{K}}_2}{\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_4}{\rm{:}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}2\\0\\4\\1\\0\end{array}} \right]\)and \({{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_4}{\rm{:}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\0\\4\\1\\2\end{array}} \right]\)

02

Writing a balanced equation using the vectors of the number of atoms

In the chemical equation, using the vectors, the coefficients of the chemical compound can be determined.

Let the chemical reaction be:

\({x_1} \cdot {\rm{KMn}}{{\rm{O}}_4} + {x_2} \cdot {\rm{MnS}}{{\rm{O}}_4} + {x_3} \cdot {{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{O}} \to {x_4} \cdot {\rm{Mn}}{{\rm{O}}_2} + {x_5} \cdot {{\rm{K}}_2}{\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_4} + {x_6} \cdot {{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_4}\)

The above reaction must satisfy the equation:

\({x_1}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1\\1\\4\\0\\0\end{array}} \right] + {x_2}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\1\\4\\1\\0\end{array}} \right] + {x_3}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\0\\1\\0\\2\end{array}} \right] = {x_4}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\1\\2\\0\\0\end{array}} \right] + {x_5}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}2\\0\\4\\1\\0\end{array}} \right] + {x_6}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\0\\4\\1\\2\end{array}} \right]\)

03

Writing the augmented matrix using the vectors

The vector equation for the chemical compound is used to write the augmented matrix.

The augmented matrixfor the equation \({x_1}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1\\1\\4\\0\\0\end{array}} \right] + {x_2}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\1\\4\\1\\0\end{array}} \right] + {x_3}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\0\\1\\0\\2\end{array}} \right] = {x_4}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\1\\2\\0\\0\end{array}} \right] + {x_5}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}2\\0\\4\\1\\0\end{array}} \right] + {x_6}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\0\\4\\1\\2\end{array}} \right]\) is:

\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&0&0&0&{ - 2}&0&0\\1&1&0&{ - 1}&0&0&0\\4&4&1&{ - 2}&{ - 4}&{ - 4}&0\\0&1&0&0&{ - 1}&{ - 1}&0\\0&0&2&0&0&{ - 2}&0\end{array}} \right]\)

04

Simplification of the augmented matrix using row operations

The row operations do not affect thelinear system.

For row 3, multiply row 1 with 4 and subtract it from row 4, i.e., \({R_4} \to {R_4} - 4{R_1}\).

\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&0&0&0&{ - 2}&0&0\\1&1&0&{ - 1}&0&0&0\\{4 - 1\left( 4 \right)}&{4 - 0}&{1 - 0}&{ - 2 - 0}&{ - 4 - 4\left( { - 2} \right)}&{ - 4 - 0}&0\\0&1&0&0&{ - 1}&{ - 1}&0\\0&0&2&0&0&{ - 2}&0\end{array}} \right]\)

For row 2, subtract row 1 from row 2, i.e., \({R_2} \to {R_2} - {R_1}\).

\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&0&0&0&{ - 2}&0&0\\{1 - 1}&{1 - 0}&{0 - 0}&{ - 1 - 0}&{0 + 2}&{0 - 0}&0\\0&4&1&{ - 2}&4&{ - 4}&0\\0&1&0&0&{ - 1}&{ - 1}&0\\0&0&2&0&0&{ - 2}&0\end{array}} \right]\)

Finding the general solution

The general solution for the coefficients of the chemical reaction is:

\({x_1} = {x_6}\), \({x_2} = \frac{3}{2}{x_6}\), \({x_3} = {x_6}\), \({x_4} = \frac{5}{2}{x_6}\) and \({x_5} = \frac{1}{2}{x_6}\).

Let \({x_6} = 2\), then

\({x_1} = 2\), \({x_2} = 3\), \({x_3} = 2\), \({x_4} = 5\) and \({x_5} = 1\)

So, the balanced chemical reaction is:

\(2{\rm{KMn}}{{\rm{O}}_4} + 3{\rm{MnS}}{{\rm{O}}_4} + 2{{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{O}} \to 5{\rm{Mn}}{{\rm{O}}_2} + {{\rm{K}}_2}{\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_4} + 2{{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_4}\)

In Exercises 23 and 24, key statements from this section are either quoted directly, restated slightly (but still true), or altered in some way that makes them false in some cases. Mark each statement True or False, and justify your answer.(If true, give the approximate location where a similar statement appears, or refer to a de铿乶ition or theorem. If false, give the location of a statement that has been quoted or used incorrectly, or cite an example that shows the statement is not true in all cases.) Similar true/false questions will appear in many sections of the text.
