Which of the following equations is balanced in an acidic solution?
A. SO42- + 2H2O(l) + 2e- SO2(g) + 4OH-
B. SO42- + 4H+ SO2(g) + 4OH- + 2H2O(l)
C. SO42- + 2e- SO2(g)
D. SO42- + 4H+ + 2e- SO2(g) + 2H2O(l)

Respuesta :

the answer
the only equation which is balanced  in an acidic solution is
D. SO42- + 4H+ + 2e- ------------------  SO2(g) + 2H2O(l)
proof:
it is an acid solution because we can see H+, presence of acid in solution
A. SO42- + 2H2O(l) + 2e- SO2(g) + 4OH- 
B. SO42- + 4H+ SO2(g) + 4OH- + 2H2O(l) are basic solution, cause we can observe on these solutions the presence of OH-, 
as for 
SO42- + 2e- --------------------SO2(g)    it is not an acid solution
