2. In the appropriate space after each equation, write the formulas for the oxidant and reductant, and indicate the number of electrons lost per formula from the reductant and the number of electrons gained per formula by the oxidant. When there is no redox occurring, indicate this by writing "no redox" Electrons Electrons gained per lost per Oxidant formula Reductant formula Ag + Cl AgCl Mg + 2H Mg2 H2 Ba + 2H20 Ba2 20H + H2 CO2 + H20 → H2CO3 CO2 C2CO 2H202 2H20+ 02 137

Copper metal can reduce silver ions to metallic silver. The copper is oxidized to copper ions according to the reaction 2Ag+(aq)+Cu(s)Cu2+(aq)+2Ag(s)A copper strip with a mass of 2.00 g is dipped into a solution of AgNO3. After some time has elapsed, the copper strip is coated with silver. The strip is removed from the solution, dried, and weighed. The coated strip has a mass of 4.18 g. What are the masses of copper and silver metals in the strip? (Hint: Remember that the copper metal is being used up as silver metal forms.)
Write balanced chemical equations for the reactions used to prepare each of the following compounds from the given starting material(s). In some cases, additional reactants may be required. (a) solid ammonium nitrate from gaseous molecular nitrogen via a two-step process (first reduce the nitrogen to ammonia, then neutralize the ammonia with an appropriate acid) (b) gaseous hydrogen bromide from liquid molecular bromine via a one-step redox reaction (c) gaseous H2S from solid Zn and S via a two-step process (first a redox reaction between the starting materials, then reaction of the product with a strong acid)
hat is meant by the driving force for a reaction? Give some examples of driving forces that make reactants tend to form products. Write a balanced chemical equation illustrating each type of driving force you have named.
A novel process for obtaining magnesium from sea water involves several reactions. Write a balanced chemical equation for each step of the process. (a) The first step is the decomposition of solid calcium carbonate from seashells to form solid calcium oxide and gaseous carbon dioxide. (b) The second step is the formation of solid calcium hydroxide as the only product from the reaction of the solid calcium oxide with liquid water. (c) Solid calcium hydroxide is then added to the seawater, reacting with dissolved magnesium chloride to yield solid magnesium hydroxide and aqueous calcium chloride. (d) The solid magnesium hydroxide is added to a hydrochloric acid solution, producing dissolved magnesium chloride and liquid water. (e) Finally, the magnesium chloride is melted and electrolyzed to yield liquid magnesium metal and diatomic chlorine gas.
The element carbon undergoes many inorganic reactions, as well as being the basis for the field of organic chemistry. Write balanced chemical equations for the reactions of carbon described below. l type='a'> Carbon burns in an excess of oxygen (for example. in the air) to produce carbon dioxide. If the supply of oxygen is limited, carbon will still burn but will produce carbon monoxide rather than carbon dioxide. molten lithium metal is treated with carbon, lithium car bide, Li2C2 , is produced. i>Iron(II) oxide reacts with carbon above temperatures of about 700 °C to produce carbon monoxide gas and molten elemental iron. i>Carbon reacts with fluorine gas at high temperatures to make carbon tetrafluoride.
A common demonstration in chemistry courses involves adding a tiny speck of manganese(IV) oxide to a concentrated hydrogen peroxide, H2O2 , solution. Hydrogen peroxide is unstable, and it decomposes quite spectacularly under these conditions to produce oxygen gas and steam (water vapor). Manganese(IV) oxide is a catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and is not consumed in the reaction. Write the balanced equation for the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide.
Why is it important to give the states of the reactants and products when giving an equation for H?
The element tin often occurs in nature as the oxide, SnO2 . To produce pure tin metal from this sort of tin ore, the ore usually is heated with coal (carbon). This produces pure molten tin, with the carbon being removed from the reaction system as the gaseous byproduct carbon monoxide. Write the unbalanced equation for this process.
