Concept explainers
Aqueous hydrogen fluoride (hydrofluoric acid) is used to etch glass and to analyze minerals for their silicon content. Hydrogen fluoride will also react with sand (silicon dioxide).
(a) Write an equation for the reaction of solid silicon dioxide with hydrofluoric acid to yield gaseous silicon tetrafluoride and liquid water.
(b) The mineral fluorite (calcium fluoride) occurs extensively in Illinois. Solid calcium fluoride can also be prepared by the reaction of aqueous solutions of calcium chloride and sodium fluoride, yielding aqueous sodium chloride as the other product. Write complete and net ionic equations for this reaction.

- Iodine can be prepared by allowing an aqueous solution of hydrogen iodide to react with manganese dioxide, MnO2. The reaction is 2I(aq)+4H+(aq)+MnO2(s)Mn2+(aq)+2H2O+I2(s) If an excess of hydrogen iodide is added to 0.200 g of MnO2, how many grams of iodine are obtained, assuming 100% yield?arrow_forwardFollow the directions of Question 29 for the following compounds: (a) solid ammonium nitrate (b) liquid methyl alcohol (c) solid copper(II) sulfidearrow_forward4.48 Elemental phosphorous is used in the semiconductor industry.

- Most abundant metal on the surface of the earth:(a) Iron(b) Aluminium(c) Calcium(d) Sodiumarrow_forwardWrite a balanced chemical equation based on the following description: solid cesium reacts with solid cesium nitrite to form cesium oxide and nitrogen gas.arrow_forward(A) if both sentences are true,(B) if both sentences are false,(C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and(D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true. 1. In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of iron changed from +2 to +3; thus, sulfur is a reducing agent. In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of nitrogen was unchanged; thus, nitrogen is an oxidant. 2. In a redox reaction, the reducing agent is oxidized and it gains electrons. In a redox reaction, the oxidizing agent is reduced and it gains electrons. 3. Bending stress is also known as flexural stress. The test used in observing the mechanical strength of chocolate is the three-point bend test. 4. The flexural strength of materials may be expressed in Pascals. Magnesium is more reactive than silver; therefore, magnesium corrodes faster than silver with the aid of air, oxygen, and sea water.arrow_forward
