Predict the the product for the following reactions.
zinc + hydrochloric acid
sulfuric acid + sodium hydroxide
sodium + hydrogen
acetic acid + coppper
Zinc + Hydrochloric acid --> Znic Chloride + Hydrogen
Sodium hydroxide + sulfuric acid --> sodium sulfate +water
Sodium + Hydrogen --> sodium hydride
2CH3COOH + Cu --> (CH3COOH)2Cu + H2
acetic acid + coppper
This reaction will not occur. Cu is BELOW H in the activity series and the single displacement reaction will not occur.
To predict the products for the given reactions, we need to examine the reactivity series and the solubility rules. Here are the predicted products for each reaction:
1. Zinc + Hydrochloric Acid:
Zinc displaces hydrogen from hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2
2. Sulfuric Acid + Sodium Hydroxide:
Sulfuric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide in a neutralization reaction to form sodium sulfate and water.
H2SO4 + 2NaOH → Na2SO4 + 2H2O
3. Sodium + Hydrogen:
Sodium reacts with hydrogen to form sodium hydride.
2Na + H2 → 2NaH
4. Acetic Acid + Copper:
Acetic acid does not react directly with copper. However, if copper is present in the presence of an oxidizing agent, a reaction can occur, resulting in the formation of copper(II) acetate and hydrogen gas. For simplicity, we will assume the presence of an oxidizing agent.
2CH3COOH + Cu + 2H2O2 → Cu(CH3COO)2 + 2H2O + H2
Please note that these are predicted products, and actual experimental conditions may vary the outcome.
