Write formulas for the reactants and predicted products for the chemical reactions. Assume that in all cases a reaction occurs. The equation needs to be balanced and descriptive symbols included. Write all substances in their proper form - as ions if appropriate - and cancel any spectator ions.
e) A small piece of sodium metal is added to distilled water
f) Solid barium oxide is added to distilled water
g) Solid ammonium carbonate is heated
h) Solutions of manganese (II) sulfate and ammonium sulfide are mixed
Answer:-
(e) A small piece of sodium metal is added to the distilled water.
2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) 2Na+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + H2(g)
(f) Solid barium oxide is added to the distilled water.
BaO(s) + H2O(l) 2Ba2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq)
(g) Solid ammonium carbonate is heated.
(NH4)2CO3(s) 2NH3(g) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
(h) Solutions of manganese (II) sulfate and ammonium sulfide are mixed.
2MnSO4(s) + (NH4)2S(l) 2MnS(s) + 2NH4+(aq) + 2SO4--(aq)
above equation can be written as follows:-
2Mn2+(aq) + 2SO42-(aq) + 2NH4+(aq) + S--(aq) 2MnS(s) + 2NH4+(aq) + 2SO4--(aq)
In above reaction ammonium ion[ NH4+(aq) ] and sulphate ion [ SO4--(aq) ] are the spectator ions which exist as same form in both reactant and product sides of a chemical reaction therefore they may be cancel out in the reaction.
then above equation can be written as follows:-
2Mn2+(aq)+ S2-(aq) 2MnS(s)
