(a)

Answer to Problem 35A
The balanced chemical equation is
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is a decomposition reaction.
It is seen that there are equal numbers of hydrogen (H) atoms on the two side, however, the product side has more oxygen (O) atoms.
It is known that atoms are indivisible; moreover, oxygen exists as a diatomic gas (O2). Therefore, a trial approach must be employed to balance the numbers of O atoms. Since the product side has more O atoms, it will be useful to multiply
Since the number of H atoms has now doubled, hence,
A quick inspection indicates that all there are equal numbers of H and O atoms and thus, the reaction is balanced.
This trial and error approach works for simple equations; however, for more complex reactions, a proper method like the ion electron method must be used.

Answer to Problem 35A
The balanced chemical equation is
Explanation of Solution
The unbalanced reaction is given as
In order to balance the number of silver (Ag) atoms on both sides, multiply
There are equal numbers of atoms of all the elements on both sides and hence, the reaction is balanced.
(c)
Interpretation:
The given chemical equation needs to be balanced.
Concept Introduction:As per the law of conservation of mass, there must be equal numbers of atoms of all the elements in a balanced chemical equation.
(c)

Answer to Problem 35A
The balanced chemical equation is
Explanation of Solution
The unbalanced reaction is
There are twice as many O atoms on the right as there are on the left. In order to balance the number of O atoms, multiply
The number of O atoms on both sides is equal; however, there are twice as many iron,
The reaction has equal numbers of atoms of the elements on both sides and hence, the reaction is balanced.
(d)
Interpretation:
The given chemical equation needs to be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
The law of conservation of mass states that there are equal numbers of atoms on the reactant and the product side of a balanced chemical equation.
(d)

Answer to Problem 35A
The balanced chemical equation is
Explanation of Solution
The unbalanced chemical equation is
Start by balancing the number of chlorine, Cl atoms on both sides. This can be done by multiplying potassium chloride,
Next balance the iodine, I atoms on both sides by multiplying potassium iodide,
The number of potassium, K atoms on both sides is equal; hence, the reaction is balanced.

- For each reaction below, decide if the first stable organic product that forms in solution will create a new CC bond, and check the appropriate box. Next, for each reaction to which you answered "Yes" to in the table, draw this product in the drawing area below. Note for advanced students: for this problem, don't worry if you think this product will continue to react under the current conditions - just focus on the first stable product you expect to form in solution. ?
