Chapter 22, Problem 129SAE

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The balanced chemical equation should be determined by completing the following reaction:

${\text{LiH(s)+H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\to$

Concept introduction:

A reaction is balancedby following method/steps:

First take an account of the number of each kind of element present in the reaction.

Balance the number of atoms of the element other than hydrogen and oxygen by putting suitable coefficient against the compound containing the element.

Now, balance the hydrogen atoms and then balance the oxygen atoms.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The balanced chemical equation should be determined by completing the following reaction:

${\text{C(s)+H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\stackrel{\Delta }{\to }$

Concept introduction:

A reaction is balanced by following method/steps:

First, take an account of the number of each kind of element present in the reaction.

Balance the number of atoms of the element other than hydrogen and oxygen by putting suitable coefficient against the compound containing the element.

Now, balance the hydrogen atoms and then balance the oxygen atoms.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The balanced chemical equation should be determined by completing the following reaction:

${\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}{\text{+H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\to$

Concept introduction:

A reaction is balanced by following method/steps:

First, take an account of the number of each kind of element present in the reaction.

Balance the number of atoms of the element other than hydrogen and oxygen by putting suitable coefficient against the compound containing the element.

Now, balance the hydrogen atoms and then balance the oxygen atoms.
