Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The net-ionic equation for the given reaction should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
When two aqueous solutions are mixed together, this may or may not result in formation of an insoluble solid in the solution. This insoluble solid is called precipitate and this reaction is called precipitation reaction.
For example, a reaction in which A and C displace each other from their respective solutions. Since two displacement takes place, this reaction is also called double displacement reaction.
AD(s) represents a precipitate.
Sometime a gaseous product is also formed, in that case we represent the equation with the phase mentioned as (g).

- 4-32 When a solution of ammonium chloride is added to a solution of lead(I1) nitrate, Pb(NO3)2, a white precipitate, lead(II) chloride, forms. Write a balanced net ionic equation for this reaction. Both ammonium chloride and lead nitrate exist as dissociated ions in aqueous solution.arrow_forward4-33 When a solution of hydrochloric acid, HCl, is added to a solution of sodium sulfite, Na.2S03, sulfur dioxide gas is released from the solution. Write a net ionic equation for this reaction. An aqueous solution of HCl contains H+ and Cl- ions, and Na2SO3 exists as dissociated ions in aqueous solution.arrow_forward4-20 Calcium oxide is prepared by heating limestone (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) to a high temperature, at which point it decomposes to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Write a balanced equation for this preparation of calcium oxide.arrow_forward
- 4-31 Predict whether a precipitate will form when aqueous solutions of the following compounds are mixed. If a precipitate will form, write its formula and write a net ionic equation for its formation. To make your predictions, use the solubiity generalizations in Section 4-3.arrow_forward4-81 (Chemical Connections 4C) Balance the lithium iodine battery redox reaction described in this sec tion and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents present.arrow_forward4-23 When solid carbon burns in a limited supply of oxygen gas, the gas carbon monoxide, CO, forms. This gas is deadly to humans because it combines with hemoglobin in the blood, making it impossible for the blood to transport oxygen. Write a balanced equation for the formation of carbon monoxide.arrow_forward
- 4-25 In the chemical test for arsenic, the gas arsme, AsH3, is prepared. When arsine is decomposed by heating, arsenic metal deposits as a mirror-like coating on the surface of a glass container and hydrogen gas, H2, is given off. Write a balanced equation for the decomposition of arsine.arrow_forwardssume a highly magnified view of a solution of HCI that allows you to “see” the HCl. Draw this magnified view. If you dropped in a piece of magnesium, the magnesium would disappear, and hydrogen gas would he released. Represent this change using symbols for the elements, and write the balanced equation.arrow_forwardOn the basis of the general solubility rules given in Table 6-1, predict which of the following substances are likely to be soluble in water. a. zinc chloride b. lead(II) nitrate c. lead(II) sulfate d. sodium iodide e. cobalt(III) sulfide f. chromium(III) hydroxide g. magnesium carbonate h. ammonium carbonatearrow_forward
