Question
Choose a chemical reaction that is used in industry, research, or nature. DO NOT USE the photosynthesis process or the cellular respiration process. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are not single chemical reactions ; they are each a series of chemical reactions.
For the reaction that you choose:
1) Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction (include the phases).
2) What is/are the reactant(s)?
3) What is/are the product(s)?
4) Why is this reaction important in either industry, research, or nature?

However, these events do not necessarily prove the existence of a chemical change.

- A weighed sample of a metal is added to liquid bromine and allowed to react completely. The product substance is then separated from any leftover reactants and weighed. This experiment is repeated with several masses of the metal but with the same volume of bromine. This graph indicates the results. Explain why the graph has the shape that it does.arrow_forwardMany over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting the stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a “burp”). Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this process.arrow_forwardIf you’ve ever left bread in a toaster too long, you know that the bread eventually burns and turns black. What evidence is there that this represents a chemical process?arrow_forward
- An experiment is conducted in which varying amounts of solid iron are added to a fixed volume of liquid bromine. The product of the reaction is a single compound, which can be separated from the product mixture and weighed. The graph shows the relationship between the mass of iron in each trail versus the mass of the product compound. Explain why the group has a positive slope for low masses of iron and a zero slope when the mass of iron added becomes larger.arrow_forwardThe element carbon undergoes many inorganic reactions, as well as being the basis for the field of organic chemistry. Write balanced chemical equations for the reactions of carbon described below. l type='a'> Carbon burns in an excess of oxygen (for example. in the air) to produce carbon dioxide. If the supply of oxygen is limited, carbon will still burn but will produce carbon monoxide rather than carbon dioxide. molten lithium metal is treated with carbon, lithium car bide, Li2C2 , is produced. i>Iron(II) oxide reacts with carbon above temperatures of about 700 °C to produce carbon monoxide gas and molten elemental iron. i>Carbon reacts with fluorine gas at high temperatures to make carbon tetrafluoride.arrow_forwardApply Describe the reaction of aqueous solutions of sodium sulfide and copper(ll) sulfate, producing the precipitate copper(ll) sulfide.arrow_forward
