Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The given chemical reaction is to be classified as decomposition, combination, single displacement, or double displacement reaction.
Concept Introduction:
The
The reactions in which one compound breaks down in order to form two products are known as decomposition reactions.
The reactions in which two or more species combine with each other to form one compound are known as combination reactions.
The reactions in which one element and one compound react with each other to form another element and compound are known as single displacement reactions.
The reactions in which two compounds react with each other to form another two compounds are known as double displacement reactions.

- In the reaction CaCl2+Na2CO3CaCO3+2NaCl, if 0.5mole of NaCl is to be formed, then: a. 1mole of Na2CO3 is needed. b. 0.5mole of CaCO3 is also formed. c. 0.5mole of Na2CO3 is needed. d. 0.25mole of CaCl2 is needed.arrow_forwardApply Students conducted a lab to investigate limiting and excess reactants. The students added different volumes of sodium phosphate solution (Na3PO4) to a beaker. They then added a constant volume of cobalt(ll) nitrate solution (CO(NO3)2) stirred the contents, and allowed the beakers to sit overnight. The next day, each beaker had a purple precipitate at the bottom. The students decanted the supernatant from each beaker, divided it into two samples, and added one drop Of sodium phosphate solution to one sample and one drop of cobalt(ll) nitrate solution to the second sample. Their results are shown in Table 11.5. a. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction. b. Based on the results, identify the limiting reactant and the excess reactant for each trial.arrow_forwardWhen balancing a chemical equation, which of the following statements is false? l type='a'> Subscripts in the reactants must be conserved in the products. i>Coefficients are used to balance the atoms on both sides. i>The law of conservation of matter must he followed. i>Phases are often shown for each compound hut are not critical to balancing an equation.arrow_forward
- The Solvay process is multistep industrial method for the manufacture of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, which is also known as washing soda. Although most of the industrialized world utilizes the Solvay process for production of sodium carbonate, it is not manufactured in the United States because it can be obtained at lower cost from a large natural deposit in Wyoming. Questions 19 through 22 are based on reactions in that process. Sodium carbonate is used for many purposes, including glass manufacturing. How much NaCl is needed to react completely with 83.0g of ammonium hydrogen carbonate in NaCl+NH4HCO3NaHCO3+NH4Cl?arrow_forwardA common method for determining how much chloride ion is present in a sample is to precipitate the chloride from an aqueous solution of the sample with silver nitrate solution and then to weigh the silver chloride that results. The balanced net ionic reaction is :math>Ag+(aq)+Cl(aq)AgCl(s) ppose a 5.45-g sample of pure sodium chloride is dissolved in water and is then treated with a solution containing 1.15 g of silver nitrate. Will this quantity of silver nitrate be capable of precipitating all the chloride ion from the sodium chloride sample?arrow_forwardhat kind of visual evidence indicates that a chemical reaction has occurred? Give an example of each type of evidence you have mentioned. Do all reactions produce visual evidence that they have taken place?arrow_forward
