Balance each of the following by adding coefficients, and identify the type of reaction for each: (8.1, 8.2, 8.3)
(a)
Interpretation:
The given reaction should be balanced by adding appropriate coefficients; in addition the type of the reaction needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
- Chemical reactions can broadly be classified into 5 types based on how the reactants interact to form products, these include: combination reaction, decomposition reaction, single replacement, double replacement and combustion reaction.
- A chemical reaction is said to be balanced if there are equal number of atoms of one kind in the reactants and products
Answer to Problem 35UTC
If blue spheres = A, red spheres = B, then the balanced equation is:
This is a combination reaction
Explanation of Solution
In the given reaction, two molecules combine to form a single product. This is representative of a combination reaction.
Let the blue spheres be represented by the element ‘A’ and the red by element ‘B’. The given unbalanced reaction is therefore,
The equation is not balanced since the number of A and B atoms in the reactants are 2 while there are only 1 each on the product side. In order to balance the equation, multiply BA by 2 to get:
(b)

If blue spheres = A, red spheres = B, then the balanced equation is:
This is a decomposition reaction
Explanation of Solution
In the given reaction, a single reactant splits to form two simpler compounds. This is representative of a decomposition reaction.
Let the blue spheres be represented by the element ‘A’ and the red by element ‘B’. The given unbalanced reaction is therefore,
The equation is not balanced since the number of A and B atoms in the reactants are 2 and 1 respectively while in the product side they are 2 each. In order to balance the equation, multiply ABA by 2 and AA by 2 to get:

- In a large building, oil is used in a steam boiler heating system.The combustion of 1.0 lb of oil provides 2.4 * 107 J. Howmany kilograms of oil are needed to heat 150 kg of water from22 °C to 100 °C? (3.4, 3.5)arrow_forwarddoes it compare with the known melting and boiling point? (1) 9. The average kinetic energy of water molecules is a measure of the temperature of water. When the temperature of water remains constant the average kinetic energy of the molecules remains constant, even though the water is being heated by the Bunsen flame. So, energy is being taken in by the water, but it is not being used to increase the kinetic energy of the molecules. 9.1 What type of energy are the water molecules gaining during a phase change? (1) 9.2 Explain your reasoning (to question 9.1) with reference to the kinetic theory of matter. 10. Write the conclusion.

Today it is used in fireworks, model rocket engines, and replica black powder weapons. Black powder consists of potassium nitrate (potassium nitrate, KN03), charcoal and sulfur. A variety of chemical reactions take place when this mixture is exploded. One of these is shown below. 2KNO, +S+ 30 → K, S+N, ↑+3C0, 1 Knowing that carbon makes up 15% of the black powder, calculate the total volume of gases (under normal conditions) released when 0.1 kg of black powder explodes.
