Imagine that you perform a combination reaction between 30.0 g of sodium metal (Na) with 20,.0 g of nitrogen gas (N2). Answer each of the following questions and show all your work. Clearly indicate parts (a), (b), etc. in your answers. (a) Write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction with the correct product. Use the "subscript button" in the toolbar above the answer box to put the chemical formulas in the proper format (it looks like this: T,). Phase designations (s, 1, g) are optional. (b) How many moles of sodium is 30.0 g? (c) How many moles of nitrogen gas is 20.0 g?

It is stated in Section 6.3 of the text that to balance equations by inspection you start “with the most complicated molecule.” What does this mean? Why is it best to do this?
The final step in the manufacture of platinum metal (for use in automotive catalytic converters and other products) is the reaction 3 (NH4)2PtCl6(s) 3 Pt(s) + 2 NH4Cl(s) + 2 N2(g) + 16 HCl(g) Complete this table of reaction quantities for the reaction of 12.35 g (NH4)2PtCl6.
(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).
Iron oxide ores, commonly a mixture of FeO and Fe2O3, are given the general formula Fe3O4. They yield elemental iron when heated to a very high temperature with either carbon monoxide or elemental hydrogen. Balance the following equations for these processes: Fe3O4(s)+H2(g)Fe(s)+H2O(g)Fe3O4(s)+CO(g)Fe(s)+CO2(g)
3.88 One Step in the enrichment of uranium for use in nuclear power plants involves the reaction of UO2 with hydro- fluoric acid (HF) solution. The products are solid UF4 and water. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.
4.106 An ore sample with a mass of 670 kg contains 27.7% magnesium carbonate, MgCO3. If all of the magnesium carbonate in this ore sample is decomposed to form carbon dioxide, describe how to determine what mass of CO2 is evolved during the process.
What is the theoretical yield for a reaction, and how does this quantity depend on the limiting reactant?
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.
