Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The given chemical reaction is to be classified as decomposition, combination, single displacement, or double displacement reaction.
Concept Introduction:
The
The reactions in which one compound breaks down in order to form two products are known as decomposition reactions.
The reactions in which two or more species combine with each other to form one compound are known as combination reactions.
The reactions in which one element and one compound react with each other to form another element and compound are known as single displacement reactions.
The reactions in which two compounds react with each other to form another two compounds are known as double displacement reactions.

- In the reaction CaCl2+Na2CO3CaCO3+2NaCl, if 0.5mole of NaCl is to be formed, then: a. 1mole of Na2CO3 is needed. b. 0.5mole of CaCO3 is also formed. c. 0.5mole of Na2CO3 is needed. d. 0.25mole of CaCl2 is needed.arrow_forwardPrecipitate Formation ne addition of hydrochloric acid to beakers containing solutions of either sodium chloride (NaCl) or silver nitrate (KNO3) causes a whiteprecipitate in one of the beakers. a. Which beaker contains a precipitate? b. What is the precipitate? c. Write a chemical equation showing the reaction. d. Classify the reaction.arrow_forwardIn an ordinary flashlight battery, an oxidation reaction and a reduction reaction rake place at different locations to produce an electric current that consists of electrons. In one of the reactions, the zinc container of the battery slowly dissolves as it is converted into zinc ions. Is this the oxidation or the reduction reaction? Is this reaction the source of electrons, or are electrons used to carry out the reaction? Explain your answers with a reaction equation.arrow_forward
- Identify each of the following unbalanced reaction equations as belonging to one or more of the following categories: precipitation, acidbase, or oxidationreduction. msp;Fe(s)+H2SO4(aq)Fe3(SO4)2(aq)+H2(g) msp;HClO4(aq)+RbOH(aq)RbCIO4(aq)+H2O(l) msp;Ca(s)+O2(g)CaO(s) msp;H2SO4(aq)+NaOH(aq)Na2SO4(aq)+H2O(l) msp;Pb(NO3)2(aq)+Na2CO3(aq)PbCO3(s)+NaNO3(aq) msp;K2SO4(aq)+CaCl2(aq)KCl(aq)+CaSO4(s) msp;HNO3(aq)+KOH(aq)KNO3(aq)+H2O(l) msp;Ni(C2H3O2)2(aq)+Na2S(aq)NiS(s)+NaC2H3O2(aq) msp;Ni(s)+Cl2(g)NiCl2(s)arrow_forwardApply Students conducted a lab to investigate limiting and excess reactants. The students added different volumes of sodium phosphate solution (Na3PO4) to a beaker. They then added a constant volume of cobalt(ll) nitrate solution (CO(NO3)2) stirred the contents, and allowed the beakers to sit overnight. The next day, each beaker had a purple precipitate at the bottom. The students decanted the supernatant from each beaker, divided it into two samples, and added one drop Of sodium phosphate solution to one sample and one drop of cobalt(ll) nitrate solution to the second sample. Their results are shown in Table 11.5. a. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction. b. Based on the results, identify the limiting reactant and the excess reactant for each trial.arrow_forwardThe Solvay process is multistep industrial method for the manufacture of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, which is also known as washing soda. Although most of the industrialized world utilizes the Solvay process for production of sodium carbonate, it is not manufactured in the United States because it can be obtained at lower cost from a large natural deposit in Wyoming. Questions 19 through 22 are based on reactions in that process. Sodium carbonate is used for many purposes, including glass manufacturing. How much NaCl is needed to react completely with 83.0g of ammonium hydrogen carbonate in NaCl+NH4HCO3NaHCO3+NH4Cl?arrow_forward
- When hydrogen sulfide, H2S , gas is bubbled through a solution of lead(II) nitrate, Pb( NO3)2 , a black precipitate of lead(II) sulfide, PbS. forms, and nitric acid, HNO3 , is produced. Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this reaction.arrow_forwardThe 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.arrow_forward
