(a)
Interpretation:
To use the color indicators of the molecules and find out the reactants and products
Concept Introduction:
When two reactants add or combine it forms products and the reaction is a combination reaction.
When a compound breaks down into two or more products, it is said to be a decomposition reaction.
(b)
Interpretation:
To illustrate the molecular art into a balanced equation
Concept Introduction:
(c)
Interpretation:
To classify the reaction as a combination, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement.
Concept Introduction:
When two or more reactants combine to form new products, it is a combination reaction. When the reactant breaks down into two or more new products, it is decomposition. A reaction in which one element reacting with a compound replaces one element in that compound then it is said to be a single-replacement reaction. A reaction in which the positive ions and the negative ions of the two reactants switch places forming new compounds or products is said to be double displacement reaction.

What are the products?arrow_forwardIn the reaction CaCl2+Na2CO3CaCO3+2NaCl, if 0.5mole of NaCl is to be formed, then: a. 1mole of Na2CO3 is needed. b. 0.5mole of CaCO3 is also formed. c. 0.5mole of Na2CO3 is needed. d. 0.25mole of CaCl2 is needed.arrow_forwardlist at least three quantities that must be conserved in chemical reactions.arrow_forward
- What is the difference between a solute and a solvent?arrow_forwardApply When a campfire begins to die down and smolder, you can rekindle the flame by fanning the fire. Explain, in terms of stoichiometry, why the fire again begins 10 flare up when fanned.arrow_forwardAssume you have a highly magnified view of a solution of HCl that allows you to see the HCl. Draw this magnified view. If you dropped in a piece of magnesium, the magnesium would disappear and hydrogen gas would be released. Represent this change using symbols for the elements, and write out the balanced equation.arrow_forward
- Questions 9 to 30: Write the equation for each reaction described. Follow your instructors advice about whether state symbols should be included. Boron combines with oxygen to form diboron trioxide.arrow_forwardQuestions 9 to 30: Write the equation for each reaction described. Follow your instructors advice about whether state symbols should be included. Lithium combines with oxygen to form lithium oxide.arrow_forwardA weighed sample of a metal is added to liquid bromine and allowed to react completely. The product substance is then separated from any leftover reactants and weighed. This experiment is repeated with several masses of the metal but with the same volume of bromine. This graph indicates the results. Explain why the graph has the shape that it does.arrow_forward
- Write the balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of adipic acid, an organic acid containing 49.31% C, 6.90% H, and the remainder O, by mass.arrow_forward4.17 Phosgene is a highly toxic gas that has been used as a chemical weapon at times in the past. It is now used in the manufacture of polycarbonates, which are used to make phone cases and plastic eyeglass lenses. Phosgene is produced by the reaction, CO+Cl2COCl2 . Given an excess of carbon monoxide, what mass of chlorine gas must be reacted to form 4.5 g of phosgene?arrow_forwardThe following demonstration takes place in a two-step process: First, solid calcium carbide (CaC2) reacts with liquid water to produce acetylene gas (C2H2) and aqueous calcium hydroxide. Second, the acetylene gas produced is then ignited with a match, causing the combustion reaction of acetylene with oxygen gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. Write the balanced equation for each reaction that is occurring.arrow_forward
