1. Balance these equations.
a. Al(s)+O2(g)¬→Al½O3(s)
b. N2(g)+H2(g)→NH;(g)
c. C,H6(1)+O2(g)→H2O(1)+CO2(g)
2. Balance the following equations.
а. СаС2(8)+Н-О() --Са(ОН)2(s)+СH-(g)
b. (NH4)2Cr2O7(s)→Cr2O3(s)+N2(g)+H2O(g)
c. CH;NH2(g)+02(g)→CO2(g)+N2(g)+H2O(g)
3. An explosive whose chemical formula is C;H,N6O6 produces water, carbon dioxide, and
nitrogen gas when detonated in oxygen. Write the chemical equation for the detonation
reaction of this explosive.
4. A number of compounds are used in cement, and reactions among them occur when water
is added. In one, CaO reacts with Al2O3 and water to form Ca3Al2(OH)12. Write a balanced
chemical equation for this process.
5. Ethanol, C2H5OH, is found in gasoline blends used in many parts of North America. Write
a balanced chemical equation for the combustion of C2H5OH to form CO2 and H2O.
6. Balance the following equations.
a. reaction to produce "superphosphate" fertilizer:
Ca3(PO4)2(s)+H2SO:(aq)→Ca(H,PO4)2(aq)+CaSO4(s)
b. reaction to produce diborane, B2H6:
NaBH4(s)+H2SO4(aq)→B2H6(g)+H2(g)+Na2SO4(aq)
c. reaction to produce tungsten metal from tungstem(VI) oxide:
WO;(s)+H2(g)→W(s)+H2O(I)
d. decomposition of ammonium dichromate:
(NH4),Cr,O,(s)→N>(g)+H>O(1)+Cr,O3(s)
7. Write balanced chemical equations for the following reactions.
a. production of ammonia, NH3(g), by combining N2(g) and H2(g)
b. production of methanol, CH;OH(1), by combining H2(g) and CO(g)
c. production of sulfuric acid by combining sulfur, oxygen, and water
8. Diborane and related compounds were proposed as rocket fuels in the 1950s. A
representative reaction for this class of molecules is that of B2H6 and O2 to form B203 and
