- In a common experiment in the general chemistry laboratory, magnesium metal is heated in air to produce MgO. MgO is a white solid, but in these experiments it often looks gray, due to small amounts of Mg3N2, a compound formed as some of the magnesium reacts with nitrogen. Write a balanced equation for each reaction.arrow_forward(a) Butane gas, C4H10, can burn completely in air [use O2(g) as the other reactant] to give carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Write a balanced equation for this combustion reaction. (b) Write a balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of C3H7BO3, a gasoline additive. The products of combustion are CO2(g), H2O(g), and B2O3(s).arrow_forwardBalance the following equations: (a) for the reaction to produce "superphosphate" fertilizer Ca3(PO4)2(s) + H2SO4(aq) Ca(H2PO4)2(aq) + CaSO4(s) (b) for the reaction to produce diborane, B2H6 NaBH4(s) + H2SO4(aq) B2H6(g) + H2(g) + Na2SO4(aq) (c) for the reaction to produce tungsten metal from tungsten(VI) oxide WO3(s) + H2(g) W(s) + H2O() (d) for the decomposition of ammonium dichromate (NH4)2Cr2O7(s) N2(g) + H2O() + Cr2O3(s)arrow_forward
- When organic compounds containing sulfur are burned, sulfurdioxide is produced. The amount of SO2 formed can be determined by the reaction with hydrogen peroxide: H2O2(aq)+SO2(g)H2SO4(aq) The resulting sulfuric acid is then titrated with a standard NaOH solution. A 1.302-g sample of coal is burned and the SO2 is collected in a solution of hydrogen peroxide. It took 28.44 mL of a 0.1000-M NaOH solution to titrate the resulting sulfuric acid. Calculate the mass percent of sulfur in the coal sample. Sulfuric acid has two acidic hydrogens.arrow_forwardThe balanced equation for the reduction of iron ore to the metal using CO is Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g) (a) What is the maximum mass of iron, in grams, that can be obtained from 454 g (1.00 lb) of iron(III) oxide?
