When steel wool (iron) is heated in pure oxygen gas, the steel wool bursts into flame and a fine powder consisting of a mixture of iron oxides ( FeO and Fe2O3 ) forms. Write separate unbalanced equations for the reaction of iron with oxygen to give each of these products.
One of the harmful effects of acid rain is its reaction with structures made of limestone, which include marble structures, ancient ruins, and many famous statues. Write the equation you would expect for the reaction between acid rain, which contains sulfuric acid, and limestone, solid calcium carbonate. Write a second equation with the same reactants, showing that the expected but unstable carbonic acid decomposes to carbon dioxide and water.
Many over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting the stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a “burp”). Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this process.
Ammonia can be formed from a combination reaction of its elements. A small fraction of an unreacted mixture of elements is illustrated in the following diagram, in which white spheres represent hydrogen atoms and blue spheres represent nitrogen atoms. The temperature is such that all species are gases. a Write and balance the equation for the reaction. b Which of the following correctly represents the product mixture? c Which species is the limiting reactant? Explain.
List and define all the ways of classifying chemical reactions that have been discussed in the text. Give a balanced chemical equation as an example of each type of reaction, and show clearly how your example fits the definition you have given.
Methanol (methyl alcohol), CH3OH , is a very important industrial chemical. Formerly, methanol was prepared by heating wood to high temperatures in the absence of air. The complex compounds present in wood are degraded by this process into a charcoal residue and a volatile portion that is rich in methanol. Today, methanol is instead synthesized from carbon monoxide and elemental hydrogen. Write the balanced chemical equation for this latter process.

4.47 Silicon carbide is, an abrasive used in the manufacture of grinding wheels. A company is investigating whether they can be more efficient in the construction of such wheels by making their own SiC via the reaction SiO2+3CSiC+2CO (a) If this reaction consistently has a yield of 85%, what is the minimum amount of both silicon dioxide and carbon needed to produce 3400 kg of SiC for the manufacture of cutting wheels? (b) The silicon dioxide is to he obtained from sand and the carbon is derived from coal. If the available sand is 95% SiO2 by weight and the coal is 73% C by weight, what mass of coal is needed for each metric ton of sand used?
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) places limits on the quantities of toxic substances that may be discharged into the sewer system. Limits have been established for a variety of substances, including hexavalent chromium, which is limited to 0.50 mg/L. If an industry is discharging hexavalent chromium as potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7), what is the maximum permissible molarity of that substance?
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.
