Translate the following sentences into unbalanced formula equations: (1) silver nitrate and soduim chloride react to form silver chloride and sodium nitrate. (2) iron (III) sulfate and calcium hydroxide react to form iron (III) hydroxide and calcium sulfate.
(1) AgNO3 + NaCl -> AgCl + NaNO3
I will be happy to critique your answer to the second question.
Iron (III) sulfate should be written
Fe2(SO4)3 Calcium hydroxide is Ca(OH)2. Calcium sulfate is CaSO4
Figure out what Iron(III) hydroxide is and balance the reaction.
(2) Fe2(SO4)3+ Ca(OH)2-->Fe(OH)3+CaSO4
To translate the given sentences into unbalanced formula equations, we need to represent the chemical formulas for each compound and the reactants involved in the reaction. Here's how you can do it:
(1) Silver nitrate and sodium chloride react to form silver chloride and sodium nitrate.
- Silver nitrate is represented by AgNO3.
- Sodium chloride is represented by NaCl.
- Silver chloride is represented by AgCl.
- Sodium nitrate is represented by NaNO3.
Therefore, the unbalanced formula equation becomes:
AgNO3 + NaCl → AgCl + NaNO3
(2) Iron (III) sulfate and calcium hydroxide react to form iron (III) hydroxide and calcium sulfate.
- Iron (III) sulfate is represented by Fe2(SO4)3.
- Calcium hydroxide is represented by Ca(OH)2.
- Iron (III) hydroxide is represented by Fe(OH)3.
- Calcium sulfate is represented by CaSO4.
Therefore, the unbalanced formula equation becomes:
Fe2(SO4)3 + Ca(OH)2 → Fe(OH)3 + CaSO4
Please note that these equations are unbalanced and do not account for the correct stoichiometry between the reactants and products.
