Chapter 7, Problem 40E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The balanced equation for the decomposition reaction of solid chromium (III) carbonate is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A chemical reaction is a process in which rearrangement of atoms or ions takes place between two reacting species. A balanced chemical equation represents an equation in which all the reactants and products are written with their stoichiometric coefficient and physical states. The number of atoms of an element on both sides of the equation is equal.

Answer to Problem 40E

The balanced equation for the decomposition reaction of solid chromium (III) carbonate is shown below.

Cr2(CO3)3(s)Cr2O3(s)+3CO2(g)

Explanation of Solution

Solid chromium (III) carbonate undergoes a decomposition reaction to produce solid chromium (III) oxide and carbon dioxide gas.

The unbalanced equation for the decomposition reaction of solid chromium (III) carbonate is shown below.

Cr2(CO3)3(s)Cr2O3(s)+CO2(g)

The numbers of atoms of elements on the left side of the reaction are not equal to that on the right side of the reaction. So, the reaction is unbalanced.

A coefficient of 3 is placed in front of CO2 to balance the chemical equation.

Therefore, the balanced equation for the decomposition reaction of solid chromium (III) carbonate is shown below.

Cr2(CO3)3(s)Cr2O3(s)+3CO2(g)

The numbers of atoms of each element on the left side of the reaction are equal to that on the right side of the reaction. Therefore, the reaction is balanced.

Conclusion

The balanced equation for the decomposition reaction of solid chromium (III) carbonate is shown below.

Cr2(CO3)3(s)Cr2O3(s)+3CO2(g)

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The balanced equation for the decomposition reaction of solid lead (IV) carbonate is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A chemical reaction is a process in which rearrangement of atoms or ions takes place between two reacting species. A balanced chemical equation represents an equation in which all the reactants and products are written with their stoichiometric coefficient and physical states. The number of atoms of an element on both sides of the equation is equal.

Answer to Problem 40E

The balanced equation for the decomposition reaction of solid lead (IV) carbonate is shown below.

Pb(CO3)2(s)PbO2(s)+2CO2(g)

Explanation of Solution

Solid lead (IV) carbonate undergoes a decomposition reaction to solid lead (IV) oxide and carbon dioxide gas.

The unbalanced equation for the decomposition reaction of solid lead (IV) carbonate is shown below.

Pb(CO3)2(s)PbO2(s)+CO2(g)

The numbers of atoms of elements on the left side of the reaction are not equal to the right side of the reaction. Therefore, the reaction is unbalanced.

A coefficient of 2 is placed in front of CO2 to balance the chemical equation.

Therefore, the balanced equation for the decomposition reaction of solid lead (IV) carbonate is shown below.

Pb(CO3)2(s)PbO2(s)+2CO2(g)

The numbers of atoms of each element on the left side of the reaction are equal to that on the right side of the reaction. Therefore, the reaction is balanced.

Conclusion

The balanced equation for the decomposition reaction of solid lead (IV) carbonate is shown below.

Pb(CO3)2(s)PbO2(s)+2CO2(g)

PLEASE READ!!! I DONT WANT EXAMPLES, I DONT WANT WORDS OR PARAGRAPHS FOR THE MECHANISM!!! THANKS First image: QUESTION 6. I have to show, with ARROWS and STRUCTURES, the mechanism of the reaction at the bottom. Also I have to show by mecanism why the reaction wouldn't work if the alcohol was primary. I also tried to draw the mechanism, tell me what to change. Please note that its an AMIDE thats formed not an AMINE the nitrogen has ONE hydrogen and one Phenyl-C-Phenyl. I already asked for this mechanism and got as a final product ...-NH2 not whats shown on the picture, thank you Ths second part. QUESTION 3. I just need a way to synthesize the lactone A, I already started please continue from where I left it  Second image: I simply need the products, substrates or reagents, thank you
Indicate how to prepare a 10% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution to a slightly alkaline pH.
