Chapter 4 – Practice Problems (The Chemical Equation)
- From the statement “nitrogen and hydrogen react to produce ammonia,” identify the reactants and the products.
- From the statement “sodium metal reacts with water to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen,” identify the reactants and the products.
- From the statement “magnesium hydroxide reacts with nitric acid to produce magnesium nitrate and water,” identify the reactants and the products.
- From the statement “propane reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water,” identify the reactants and the products.
- Write and balance the chemical equation described by question 1.
- Write and balance the chemical equation described by question 2.
- Write and balance the chemical equation described by question 3.
- Write and balance the chemical equation described by question 4. The formula for propane is C3H8.
- Balance: _NaClO3 → _NaCl + _O2
- Balance: _N2 + _H2 → _N2H4
- Balance: _Al + _O2 → _Al2O3
- Balance: _C2H4 + _O2 → _CO2 + _H2O
- How would you write the balanced chemical equation in question 10 if all substances were gases?
- How would you write the balanced chemical equation in question 12 if all the substances except water were gases and water itself were a liquid?
