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.

- Could you please solve the first problem in this way and present it similarly but color-coded or step by step so I can understand it better? Thank you!arrow_forwardCould you please solve the first problem in this way and present it similarly but (color-coded) and step by step so I can understand it better? Thank you! I want to see what they are doingarrow_forwardCan you please help mne with this problem. Im a visual person, so can you redraw it, potentislly color code and then as well explain it. I know im given CO2 use that to explain to me, as well as maybe give me a second example just to clarify even more with drawings (visuals) and explanations.arrow_forward
