Question
Chapter 6.3, Problem 6.2SC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
It is required to identify the reactants and products and write the balanced equation (including symbols for states) for each of the following
Concept Introduction:
The notations s, l and g are used to represent solid, liquid and gaseous state of the reactants and the products in a chemical equation. The equation is written in such a way that the left hand side of the equation represents reactants and right hand side of the equation represents products and are separated by arrows. The two or more reactants and products are separated by “+”.

Exercise 6.3 Give the balanced equation for each of the following reactions.a. When solid ammonium nitrite is heated, it produces nitrogen gas and water vapor.b. Gaseous nitrogen monoxide (common name, nitric oxide) decomposes to produce dinitrogen monoxide gas (common name, nitrous oxide) and nitrogen dioxide gas.c. Liquid nitric acid decomposes to reddish-brown nitrogen dioxide gas. Liquid water, and oxygen gas. (This is why bottles of nitric acid become yellow upon standing.)
Practice Exercise 2Write the balanced equation for the reaction that occurs whenethanol, C2H5OH1l2, burns in air.
