Sulphuric acid is one of the most common chemicals used in modern industry, so much so that we fill train cars with it. It can react in many different types of reactions. Here is a list of substances with which one could demonstrate the chemical properties of sulphuric acid (all solutions are aqueous): Barium bromide solution Potassium chloride solution Sodium hydroxide solution Zinc metal Pick one substance from the list above that would undergo a acid-base reaction with sulphuric acid. Write balanced molecular and net ionic equations for the reaction between aqueous sulphuric acid and the substance of your choice. Substance chosen: Brief justification for your choice: Molecular equation: Net ionic equation: Pick one substance from the list above that would undergo a precipitation reaction with sulphuric acid. Write balanced molecular and net ionic equations for the reaction between aqueous sulphuric acid and the substance of your choice. Substance chosen: Brief justification for your choice: Molecular equation: Net ionic equation:
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
