Interpretation:
Two examples of acid base reactions from the chapter has to be found and the reactions has to be balanced, the reactants and the products has to be named.
Concept Introduction:
Balanced equation:
Balanced equation is a chemical equation in which number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge are same on both reactant side and the product side.
Steps in balancing the equation:
- Step 1: Write the unbalanced equation
- Step 2: Find the coefficient to balance the equation.
- The coefficient should be reduced to the smallest whole number.
Acid - base reaction: Reaction between an acid and a base forms salt and water as the product. This is also known as neutralization reaction. Generally, for acid base reaction, base produces the cation and acid produces the anion.

- In each of the following cases, does a precipitation reaction occur when solutions of the two water-soluble reactants are mixed? Give the formula of any precipitate that forms, and write a balanced chemical equation for the precipitation reactions that occur. (a) sodium carbonate and copper(11) chloride (b) potassium carbonate and sodium nitrate (c) nickel(11) chloride and potassium hydroxidearrow_forwardRewrite the following word equation using chemical formulas. Balance the equation and write the balanced equation in net ionic form: bariumchloride(aq)+sodiumsulfate(aq)sodiumchloride(aq)+bariumsulfate(s)arrow_forwardIron 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)arrow_forward

Then, write the balanced complete ionic equation and the net ionic equation for this neutralization reaction.arrow_forwardTable 6.1 lists some clues that a chemical reaction has occurred. However, these events do not necessarily prove the existence of a chemical change. Give an example for each of the clues that is not a chemical reaction but a physical change.arrow_forward
- n general terms, what are the spectator ions in a precipitation reaction? Why are the spectator ions not included in writing the net ionic equation for a precipitation reaction? Does this mean that the spectator ions do not have to be present in the solution?arrow_forwardA common demonstration in chemistry courses involves adding a tiny speck of manganese(IV) oxide to a concentrated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes quite spectacularly under these conditions to produce oxygen gas and steam (water vapor). Manganese(IV) oxide is a catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and is not consumed in the reaction. Write the balanced equation for the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide.arrow_forwardMany 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.arrow_forward
