Chapter 9, Problem 67A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A skeleton equation for the given reaction needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Chemical equation is the symbolic description of a chemical reaction that products and reactants are indicating in terms of their chemical formula.

Answer to Problem 67A

The skeleton equation is as follows:

$\text{HI}\left(g\right)\to {\text{H}}_2\left(g\right)+{\text{I}}_2\left(g\right)$

Explanation of Solution

In a chemical reaction skeleton equation shows the reactant and product. During a decomposition reaction hydrogen iodide gives hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. The skeleton equation is as follows:

$\text{HI}\left(g\right)\to {\text{H}}_2\left(g\right)+{\text{I}}_2\left(g\right)$

Conclusion

In a chemical reaction skeleton equation shows the reactant and product. Skeleton equation does not specify the amount of each. The skeleton equation is as follows:

$\text{HI}\left(g\right)\to {\text{H}}_2\left(g\right)+{\text{I}}_2\left(g\right)$
