(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced equation for the given reaction should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
When a metal and an aqueous solution are mixed together, this may or may not result in the 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 C displaces A from its solutions. Since displacement takes place, this reaction is also called displacement reaction.
Sometime a gaseous product is also formed; in that case we represent the equation with the phase mentioned as (g).
(b)
Interpretation:
The oxidized and reduced species should be identified.

- 4-92 Reaction of pentane, C5H12, with oxygen, O2, gives carbon dioxide and water. (a) Write a balanced equation for this reaction. (b) In this reaction, what is oxidized and what is reduced? (c) What is the oxidizing agent, and what is the reducing agent?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_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_forward
- 4-21 The brilliant white light in some firework displays is produced by burning magnesium in air. The magne sium reacts with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide. Write a balanced equation for this reaction.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_forward4-25 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_forward

(c) How many moles of O2 are required to produce 8 moles of N2O3?arrow_forward4-77 To convert 1 mol of iron(III) oxide to its elements requires 196.5 kcal: How many grams of iron can be produced if 156.0 kcal of heat is absorbed by a large-enough sample of iron(III) oxide?arrow_forwardThe carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required. The H for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forward
