1.
Balance the following chemical equations:
A. 2 Na (s) + 1 Cl2 (g) → 2 NaCl (s)
B. 1 Fe2O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) → 2 Fe (s) + 3 CO2 (g)
C. 1 Cu (s) + 2 AgNO3 (aq) → 1 Cu(NO3) 2 (aq)+ 2 Ag (s)
D. 2 H2 (g) + 1 O2 (g) → 2 H2O (g)
E. 2 KI (aq) + 1 Pb(NO3)2 (aq) → 1 PbI2 (s) + 2 KNO3 (aq)
2. Write a word equation and a formula equation for the reaction in which aqueous
solutions of sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide react to produce aqueous sodium
sulfate and water.
(sulfuric acid = H2SO4; hydroxide = OH ; sulfate = SO42-)
A. Word equation:
sulphuric acid + sodium hydroxide —> sodium sulphate + water
B. Balanced chemical equation:
H^2SO^4 + 2NaOH -----> Na^2SO^4 + 2H^2O
3. Write the word, formula, and balanced chemical equation for the reaction between
hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) and oxygen gas that produces sulfur dioxide gas and
water vapor.
A. Word equation:
hydrogen sulfide + oxygen —> sulfur dioxide + water vapour
B. Formula equation:
H^2S(g) + O^2(g) -----> SO^2(g) + H^2O(g)
C. Balanced chemical equation:
2H^2S(g) + 3O^2(g) -----> 2SO^2(g) + 2H^2O(g)
sulphuric acid + sodium hydroxide —> sodium sulphate + water
H^2SO^4 + 2NaOH -----> Na^2SO^4 + 2H^2O
