Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The explosion of dynamite produces a mixture of gases. The balanced equation is to be interpreted for the explosive decomposition of liquid nitroglycerin to produce a mixture of gases-carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrogen, and oxygen.
Concept Introduction: The transformation of reactant molecules into product molecules is represented by a
Chemical equations can be used to represent a chemical reaction. The conversion is represented by a single-headed arrow and the chemical formula of the reactant and product molecules.
(b)
Interpretation: In the self-contained breathing apparatus, solid potassium superoxide reacts with carbon dioxide to form oxygen gas and solid potassium carbonate. The balanced equation is to be interpreted for the given reaction.
Concept Introduction: The transformation of reactant molecules into product molecules is represented by a chemical reaction. It entails the forming and breaking of chemical compound bonds.
Chemical equations can be used to represent a chemical reaction. The conversion is represented by a single-headed arrow and the chemical formula of the reactant and product molecules.
(c)
Interpretation: In a blast furnace, solid iron (III) oxide reacts with carbon monoxide to form solid iron and carbon dioxide. The balanced equation is to be interpreted for the given reaction.
