- Balance each of the following equations, and then write the net ionic equation. Show states for all reactants and products (s, . g, aq). (a) the reaction of sodium hydroxide and iron(II) chloride to give iron(II) hydroxide and sodium chloride (b) the reaction of barium chloride with sodium carbonate to give barium carbonate and sodium chloride (c) the reaction of ammonia with phosphoric acidarrow_forwardOxidation of 1.00 g of carbon monoxide, CO, produces 1.57 g of carbon dioxide, CO2. How many grams of oxygen were required in this reaction?arrow_forwardA common demonstration in chemistry courses involves adding a tiny speck of manganese(IV) oxide to a concentrated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes quite spectacularly under these conditions to produce oxygen gas and steam (water vapor). Manganese(IV) oxide is a catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and is not consumed in the reaction. Write the balanced equation for the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide.arrow_forward
- 1. Copper(II) sulfide reacts with nitric acid according to the balanced equation: 3 CuS(s) + 8 H+(aq) + 2 NO3−(aq) 3 Cu2+(aq) + 3 S(s) + 4 H2O(ℓ) + 2 NO(g) The substance oxidized is CuS H+ NO3−arrow_forwardClassify each of the following reactions as a combination reaction, decomposition reaction, displacement reaction, or combustion reaction. a When solid calcium oxide, CaO, is exposed to gaseous sulfur trioxide, SO3, solid calcium sulfate, CaSO4, is formed. b Calcium metal (solid) reacts with water to produce a solution of calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, and hydrogen gas. c When solid sodium hydrogen sulfite, NaHSO3, is heated, solid sodium sulfite, Na2SO3, sulfur dioxide gas, SO2, and water vapor are formed. d Magnesium reacts with bromine to give magnesium bromide, MgBr2.arrow_forwardDisulfur dichloride, S2Cl2, is used to vulcanize rubber. It can be made by treating molten sulfur with gaseous chlorine. S8() + 4 Cl2(g) 4 S2Cl2(g) Complete this table of reaction quantities for the production of 103.5 g S2Cl2.arrow_forward
- Chlorine gas was first prepared in 1774 by C. W. Scheele by oxidizing sodium chloride with manganese(IV) oxide. The reaction is NaCl(aq) + H2SO4(aq) + MnO2(s) Na2SO4(aq) + MnCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + Cl2 (g) Balance this equation.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_forwardFor this reaction, fill in the table with the indicated quantities for the balanced equation. 4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g)arrow_forward
- High cost and limited availability of a reactant often dictate which reactant is limiting in a particular process. Identify the limiting reactant when the reactions below are run, and come up with a reason to support your decision. a. Burning charcoal on a grill: C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g) b. Burning a chunk of Mg in water: Mg(s)+2H2O(l)Mg(OH)2(aq)+H2(g) c. The Haber process of ammonia production: 3H2(g)+N2(g)2NH3(g)arrow_forwardBalance the following equations, and name each reactant and product: (a) SF4(g) + H2O() SO2(g) + HF() (b) NH3(aq) + O2(aq) NO(g) + H2O() (c) BF3(g) + H2O() HF(aq) + H3BO3(aq)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
