Introductory Chemistry: A Foundation
- Colorful fireworks often involve the decomposition of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate and the reaction of the metals magnesium, aluminum, and iron with oxygen. (a) Write the formulas of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate. (b) The decomposition of solid potassium chlorate leads to the formation of solid potassium chloride and diatomic oxygen gas. Write an equation for the reaction. (c) The decomposition of solid barium nitrate leads to the formation of solid barium oxide, diatomic nitrogen gas, and diatomic oxygen gas. Write an equation for the reaction. (d) Write separate equations for the reactions of the solid metals magnesium, aluminum, and iron with diatomic oxygen gas to yield the corresponding metal oxides. (Assume the iron oxide contains Fe3+ ions.)arrow_forwardThe present average concentration (mass percent) of magnesium ions in seawater is 0.13%. A chemistry textbook estimates that if 1.00 × 108 tons Mg were taken out of the sea each year, it would take one million years for the Mg concentration to drop to 0.12%. Do sufficient calculations to either verify or refute this statement. Assume that Earth is a sphere with a diameter of 8000 mi, 67% of which is covered by oceans to a depth of 1 mi, and that no Mg is washed back into the oceans at any time.arrow_forwardWrite a balanced equation for the reaction of hydroiodic acid, HI, with calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2. Then, write the balanced complete ionic equation and the net ionic equation for this neutralization reaction.arrow_forward
- In each of the following cases, does a precipitation reaction occur when solutions of the two water-soluble reactants are mixed? Give the formula of any precipitate that forms, and write a balanced chemical equation for the precipitation reactions that occur. (a) sodium carbonate and copper(11) chloride (b) potassium carbonate and sodium nitrate (c) nickel(11) chloride and potassium hydroxidearrow_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_forward3.13 An explosive whose chemical formula is C3H6N6O6 produces water, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen gas when detonated in oxygen. Write the chemical equation for the detonation reaction of this explosive.arrow_forward
- You take 1.00 g of an aspirin tablet (a compound consisting solely of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), burn it in air, and collect 2.20 g CO2 and 0.400 g H2O. You know that the molar mass of aspirin is between 170 and 190 g/mol. Reacting 1 mole of salicylic acid with I mole of acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) gives you 1 mole of aspirin and 1 mole of acetic acid (C2H4O2). Use this information to determine the molecular formula of salicylic acid.arrow_forwardWrite a balanced equation for the reaction of nitric acid, HNO3(aq), with barium hydroxide, Ba(OH)2(aq). Include physical states.arrow_forwardPredict the reactants of this chemical reaction. That is, fill in the left side of the chemical equation. Be sure the equation you submit is balanced. (You can edit both sides of the equation to balance it, if you need to.) Note: you are writing the molecular, and not the net ionic equation. → BaBr₂(aq) + H₂O(1) - X ローロarrow_forward
- Neutralization reactions involve the hydrogen ions (H+) from an acid, reacting with a base that often contains ydroxide ions (OH-). Use this information to predict the name and formula for the chemical substance that is always produced in this type of reaction. What type of reaction is this?arrow_forwardlonic equations are a result of ionization. Ionization is when ions are formed from solute molecules by the action of the solvent. For example: HCI>H*(aq) + Cl(aq) Hydrochloric acid (HCI) is an ionic compound that is broken down into two ions: Hydrogen (H*) and Chlorine (CI'). An ionic compound contains a cation with a positive charge (H*) and an anion with a negative charge (CI). For a compound to go through ionization (be broken down into ions), it must be an ionic compound. Note that molecular compounds to not go through ionization. 1. What two classes of elements make up molecular compounds? 2. What classes of elements make dn ionic compounds?arrow_forwardWrite the complete balanced chemical equation, including phases (aq) and/or (s), for the reaction between Ba(NO3)2(aq) and K3PO4(aq). Use the T2 button for subscripts. Does this double replacement reaction react or is it no reaction? Explain your answer in your own words with proper grammar in a total of 2-4 sentences.arrow_forward
