Pat Says Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it very much. My question asks to calculate the theoretical mole ratios versus the observed mole ratios (got that part recorded) of sodium hypochlorite and sodium thiosulfate... now here's my problem: I can't figure out how to balance NaHClO and Na2S2O3. I can't really figure out where to begin and I don't know what the products would be. thanks for any help edit: and it asks for the net ionic equation for the reaction and calculate the enthalpy change (I think I just drop the Na in the equation but I'm not sure) oh yeah and the mixture was 0.5M Sodium Hypochlorite solution and 0.5Msodium Thiosulfate solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lan418 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 For the net ionic equation, you drop the Na+ because it is soluble(refer to your solubility rules in your textbook). You are left with the H+, CLO- and S2O3 2- ions. You can take it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
