Occurrence for chemical reaction between powdered aluminum and
Concept Introduction:
Reactivity of metals is determined by activity series. In this series, more reactive metal is placed above less reactive metals. Reactivity of metals decreases from top to bottom in activity series.
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether reaction occurs between powdered iron and aluminum oxide or not has to be explained.

- Consider the iron alloy described in Question 19. Suppose it is desired to prepare 1.00 kg of this alloy, what mass of each component would be necessary?arrow_forwardA Suggest a laboratory method for preparing barium phosphate. (See Study Question 97 for a way to approach this question.)arrow_forwardConsider the reaction between oxygen (O2) gas and magnesium metal to form magnesium oxide. Using oxidation states, how many electrons would each oxygen atom gain, and how many electrons would each magnesium atom lose? How many magnesium atoms are needed to react with one oxygen molecule? Write a balanced equation for this reaction.arrow_forward
- The Ostwald process for the commercial production of nitric acid involves the Following three steps: 4NH3(g)+5O2(g)4NO(g)+6H2O(s)2NO(g)+O2(g)2NO2(g)3NO2(g)+H2O(l)2HNO3(aq)+NO(g) a. Which reaction in the Ostwald process are oxidation-reduction reactions? b. Identify each oxidizing agent and reducing agent.arrow_forwardComplete and balance the equations of the following reactions, each of which could be used to remove hydrogen sulfide from natural gas: (a) Ca(OH)2(s)+H2S(g) (b) Na2CO3(aq)+H2S(g)arrow_forwardThe Hall process is an important method by which pure aluminum is prepared from its oxide (alumina, Al2O3 ) by indirect reaction with graphite (carbon). Balance the following equation, which is a simplified representation of this process. m:math>Al2O3(s)+C(s)Al(s)+CO2(g)arrow_forward
- Write balanced chemical equations for the following reactions: (a) metallic aluminum burned in air (b) elemental aluminum heated in an atmosphere of Chlorine (c) aluminum heated in hydrogen bromide gas (d) aluminum hydroxide added to a solution of nitric acidarrow_forwardThe element carbon undergoes many inorganic reactions, as well as being the basis for the field of organic chemistry. Write balanced chemical equations for the reactions of carbon described below. l type='a'> Carbon burns in an excess of oxygen (for example. in the air) to produce carbon dioxide. If the supply of oxygen is limited, carbon will still burn but will produce carbon monoxide rather than carbon dioxide. molten lithium metal is treated with carbon, lithium car bide, Li2C2 , is produced. i>Iron(II) oxide reacts with carbon above temperatures of about 700 °C to produce carbon monoxide gas and molten elemental iron. i>Carbon reacts with fluorine gas at high temperatures to make carbon tetrafluoride.arrow_forwardWhen heated to 700—800 C, diamonds, which are pure carbon, are oxidized by atmospheric oxygen. (They burn!) Write the balanced equation for this reaction.arrow_forward
- Complete the missing information in the following skeletion equation and balance the chemical equation: NaOH(aq)+3NaCl(aq)+Al(OH)3(aq)arrow_forwardThe mineral rhodothrosite is manganese() carbonate. Write an overall, balanced equation for the reaction of the mineral with hydrochloric acid, and name the products.arrow_forward4.60 Why are fuel additives used?arrow_forward
