(a)
Interpretation: The balanced equation for the formation of uric acid from purine should be written.
Concept introduction:
In a balanced equation the number of atoms of each element as a reactant is equal to the number of atoms of that element as a product.
Coefficient is a number placed before a formula in a chemical equation.
A balanced equation should be obeying the law of conservation of mass. Law of conservation of mass states that, the number of atoms remains constant throughout the reaction, simply it can be stated as follows, “during a
A precipitation reaction takes place when two solutions of well soluble substances together form a poorly soluble salt.
(b)
Interpretation: The type of reaction should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Reactions of ionic compounds can be grouped into three and they are,
- 1. Precipitation reaction: A precipitation reaction takes place when two solutions of well soluble substances together form a poorly soluble salt.
- 2. Acid- base neutralization reaction: it is a double displacement reaction in which an acid and a base react to form an ionic compound (salt) and water.
- 3.
Oxidation-reduction reaction: Both the oxidation and reduction reaction occurs together in a chemical reaction. It is also known as redox reaction.

- The reaction CO (g) + H2O(g) CO2(g) 2 + H2(g) has ΔH = -41 kJ/mol. Does the amount of H2 in an equilibrium mixture increase or decrease when the temperature is decreased?arrow_forwardFor the following reactions, identify the atom(s) being oxidized and reduced:arrow_forwarddiscuss the following statement: “Whether the ΔG for a reaction is larger, smaller, or the same as ΔG° depends on the concentration of the compounds that participate in the reaction.”arrow_forward
- Some antacids are used by dropping a tablet into a glass of water, which results in significant fizzing, and then drinking the water. Is there any evidence to suggest there might be a chemical reaction involved? What is the evidence?arrow_forwardCan I use 0.225%KCl to replace 0.450%NaCl with a patient that has a high Na level. What makes it possible to use potassium chloride instead of NaCl. Because of what properties is this possible? Explainarrow_forwardWhich letter represents the ΔG of the reaction?arrow_forward
- Draw all possible carboxylic acids with the formula C5H10O2.arrow_forwardFor the reaction A → B at 298 K, the change in enthalpy is −7 kJ · mol−1and the change in entropy is −25 J · K−1 · mol−1. Is the reaction spontaneous? If not, should the temperature be increased or decreased to make the reaction spontaneous?arrow_forwardThe following is an example of a _____________________reaction.CH3CH2OH CH2 => CH2 + H2Oarrow_forward
- The chemical formula for deoxyribose is C___ H___O____.arrow_forwardIs starch soluble in water? How might that be helpful in determining the rate of reactivity? How might that decrease the rate of reactivity?arrow_forwardConsider the reaction A + 2B ----> C. If the molar mass of C is twice the molar mass of A, what mass of C is produced by the complete reaction of 10.0 g A?(a) 10.0 g(b) 30.0 g(c) 60.0 garrow_forward
