- 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_forwardWhat does it mean to say an equation is balanced? Why is it important for an equation to be balanced?arrow_forwardSilicon is produced for the chemical and electronics industries by the following reactions. Give the balanced equation for each reaction. a. SiO2(s)+C(s)Si(s)+CO(g) b. Silicon tetrachloride is reacted with very pure magnesium, producing silicon and magnesium chloride. c. Na2SiF6(s)+Na(s)Si(s)+NaF(s)arrow_forward
- Write a chemical equation representing the decomposition of water into two gaseous products. What are the products?arrow_forwardhat do the coefficients of a balanced chemical equation tell us about the proportions in which atoms and molecules react on an individual (microscopic) basis?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
- Write and balance the equation for the reaction of butane, C4H10, with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. Use your equation to help answer the following questions. a Write, in words, a description of the reaction on the particulate level. b If you were to build physical ball-and-stick models of the reactants and products, what minimum number of balls representing atoms of each element do you need if you show both reactants and products at the same time? c What if the models of the reactants from Part b were built and then rearranged to form products? How many balls would you need? d Use words to interpret the equation on the molar level. e Use the molar-level interpretation of the equation from Part d and molar masses rounded to the nearest gram to show that mass is indeed conserved in this reaction.arrow_forward(For Exercises 4546) Solutions containing nickel(II) ion are usually bright green in color. When potassium hydroxide is added to such a nickel(II) solution, a pale-green fluffy solid forms and settles out of the solution. The fact that a reaction takes place when potassium hydroxide is added to a solution of nickel(II) ions is an example of a properly. . The fact that a solution of nickel(II) ion is bright green is an example of a property.arrow_forwardSucrose and honey are commonly used sweeteners. Suppose you had a sweet-tasting water solution that contained either honey or sucrose. How would you chemically determine which sweetener was present?arrow_forward
- When steel wool (iron) is heated in pure oxygen gas, the steel wool bursts into flame and a fine powder consisting of a mixture of iron oxides ( FeO and Fe2O3 ) forms. Write separate unbalanced equations for the reaction of iron with oxygen to give each of these products.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_forwardThe “Chemistry in Focus” segment The Beetle That Shoots Straight discusses the bombardier beetle and the chemical reaction of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. m:math>H2O2(aq)H2O(l)+O2(g) e balanced equation given in the segment is m:math>2H2O2(aq)2H2O(l)+O2(g) y can’t we balance the equation in the following way? m:math>H2O2(aq)H2(g)+O2(g) e molecular-level pictures like those in Section 6.3 to support your answer.arrow_forward
