HCl + BaSO3 ⟶ BaCl2 + SO2 +H2O.
What type of reaction is HCl + BaSO3
HCl+ BaSO3 reaction is a displacement reaction. It comes under the gas evolution reaction.
How to balance HCl+ BaSO3
The chemical reaction can be balanced using the following steps given below.
- If the number of atoms on the reactant side and product side is equal, then it is a balanced equation.
- HCl + BaSO3 ⟶ BaCl2 + SO2 +H2O.
- In the above reaction, on the reactant side, one atom of H, Cl, Ba, and S and three atoms of Oxygen is present, whereas on the product side, one atom of Ba and S and two atoms of H and Cl, whereas three atoms of Oxygen are present. It can be clear from the below table.
| Atom | Number of atoms on the reactant side | Number of atoms on the Product side |
|---|---|---|
| H | 1 | 2 |
| Cl | 1 | 3 |
| Ba | 1 | 1 |
| S | 1 | 1 |
| O | 3 | 3 |
- This reaction is unbalanced, which can be equalized by multiplying HCl by two on the reactant side so the number of H and Cl on both sides will be equal.
- Finally, the balanced equation will be as follow.
- 2HCl + BaSO3 ⟶ BaCl2 + SO2 +H2O.
HCl + BaSO3 titration
As HCl is strong, the acid reacts with the base BaSO3 to give acid-base titration.
Apparatus
Volumetric flask, pipette, burette, conical flask, measuring cylinder, and titration stand.
Indicator
Phenolphthalein is used as an indicator in the above titration.
Procedure
- Wash and dry all the apparatus before use in titration.
- In this titration, HCL is the analyte, and barium sulfite is the titrant as HCl is in an unknown concentration whose concentration we have to find out with the help of a known concentration of barium sulfite.
- Fill the burette with BaSO3 solution up to mark.
- Take a precise amount of HCl in the conical flask.
- Add 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein indicator in the conical flask in which an unknown concentration of HCl is present.
- After this, add a solution of BaSO3 from the burette drop by drop till its color changes to pink.
- Repeat the same process 3-4 times to calculate the mean value for calculation.
- Put this value in the normality formula below, from which the normality of the analyte can find out.
- N1V1=N2V2.
HCl + BaSO3 net ionic equation
The net ionic equation for the reaction HCl+ BaSO3 is
BaSO3(s) = Ba2+ (aq) + SO32- (aq)
- Cations and anions formed after the dissociation of soluble ionic compounds. The ionic equation can be given using below chemical equation.
- 2H+(aq) + 2Cl–(aq) +BaSO3(s) = Ba2-(aq) +2Cl–(aq) +2H+(aq) + SO32-(aq).
- The net ionic equation contains the ion which takes part in the reaction.
- Spectator ion has no role in the reaction, so the ion on both sides of the reaction are canceled.
- Finally net ionic equation written as BaSO3(s) = Ba2+ (aq) + SO32- (aq).
HCl + BaSO3 conjugate pairs
HCl+ BaSO3 reaction has the following conjugate pair,
- HCl, as a strong acid, has Cl- as a conjugate base.
- BaSO3 is a salt, so do not have conjugate pair.
HCl and BaSO3 intermolecular forces
Intermolecular forces in HCl+ BaSO3 are,
- HCl molecules show two types of Intermolecular forces, which are dipole-dipole and London dispersion forces. A polar covalent force is observed due to the movement of H+ and Cl– ions.
- BaSO3 has both ionic and covalent forces. Sulfite has a negative 2 charge, and barium has a positive 2 ionic charge.
HCl + BaSO3 reaction enthalpy
The reaction enthalpy of the HCl+ BaSO3 reaction is +623.064.
- For calculating the Enthalpy of the reaction, we should know the Enthalpy of the formation of each compound in the reaction, which is tabulated below.
| Compounds | Enthalpy of formation (KJ/mol) |
|---|---|
| HCl(aq) | -166.994 |
| aSO3(s) | -1030 |
| BaCl2(aq) | +8.8 |
| SO2(g) | – 296.9 |
| H2O(l) | – 285.83 |
- Change in Enthalpy = (Sum of Enthalpy of formation of Product) – (Sum of Enthalpy of formation of Reactant) = 8.8+ (-296.9) + (-285.83) – [(-166.994) + (-1030)] = +623.064.
Is HCl + BaSO3 a buffer solution
HCl+ BaSO3 is not a buffer solution as HCl is a strong acid, and Barium sulfite is a basic salt that is not conjugate pair of HCl.
Is HCl + BaSO3 a complete reaction
HCl+ BaSO3 is a complete reaction as HCl acid reacts completely with the BaSO3 salt.
Is HCl + BaSO3 an exothermic or endothermic reaction
HCl+ BaSO3 is an endothermic reaction which is indicated by the positive value of Enthalpy of reaction, which is noted at +623.064. Thus heat is absorbed during the reaction.
Is HCl + BaSO3 a redox reaction
HCl+ BaSO3 is not a redox reaction as the oxidation state of the atom on both the reactant and product side remains unchanged.
Is HCl + BaSO3 a precipitation reaction
HCl+ BaSO3 is not a precipitation reaction as barium chloride formed as the Product is water soluble, SO2 is gas, and H2O is liquid.
Is HCl + BaSO3 reversible or irreversible reaction
HCl+ BaSO3 is an irreversible reaction as once the Product is formed reaction does not reverse to the left-hand side.
Is HCl + BaSO3 displacement reaction
HCl+ BaSO3 is a displacement reaction as the ion of reactant molecule HCl and BaSO3 are swapped to give a new molecule on the product side.
Conclusion
HCl reacts with BaSO3 to give BaCl2 along with SO2 and H2O. Barium sulfite is barium salt of sulfurous acid. BaSO3 is a white powder with a molar mass of 217.391g/mol. Its solubility in water was observed at 0.0011g/100ml. BaCl2 formed is used in oil refining manufacturing of rubber.
