(a)
Interpretation: The given equation between zinc and aqueous HCl needs to be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
The
(a)
Answer to Problem 1RE
Explanation of Solution
When the reaction of zinc metal (Zn) with aqueous hydrochloric (HCl) takes place, it gives an aqueous solution of zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and hydrogen (H2) gas.
The unbalanced reaction is as follows:
It can be balanced by giving coefficient 2 to HCl.
Thus, the balanced reaction is as follows:
(b)
Interpretation: The given equation for the decomposition of potassium chlorate needs to be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
The chemical reaction must be balanced such that it agrees with the law of mass conservation. A balanced chemical equation arises when the number of atoms or ions of the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms or ions of the product side.
(b)
Answer to Problem 1RE
Explanation of Solution
The decompositions of solid potassium chlorate KClO3 give potassium chloride in solid form and oxygen gas.
Unbalance reaction:
The above reaction can be balanced by giving coefficient 2 to
Thus,
Balanced reaction:
(c)
Interpretation: The given equation between solid sulfur and fluorine gas needs to be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
The chemical reaction must be balanced such that it agrees with the law of mass conservation. A balanced chemical equation arises when the number of atoms or ions of the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms or ions of the product side.
(c)
Answer to Problem 1RE
Explanation of Solution
When solid sulfur treats with fluorine gas, it gives sulfur hexafluoride in gaseous form.
Unbalance reaction;
To balance the above reaction give coefficient 24 to F2 and 8 to SF6.
Thus,
Balanced reaction;
(d)
Interpretation: The given equation between iron metal and oxygen gas needs to be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
The chemical reaction must be balanced such that it agrees with the law of mass conservation. A balanced chemical equation arises when the number of atoms or ions of reactant side are equals to the number of atom or ions of product side.
(d)
Answer to Problem 1RE
Explanation of Solution
Iron metal reacts with oxygen gas to give solid ferric oxide (Fe2O3).
Unbalance reaction;
The above reaction can be balanced by giving coefficient 4 to Fe, 3 to oxygen gas and 2 to ferric oxide.
Balanced reaction:
