CuSO4+LiNo3
Potassium sulfate+lithium nitrate
Can someone help me figure out the equations for these two? Phases aren't required
CuSO4 + LiNO3 ==> No reaction.
K2SO4 + LiNO3 ==> No reaction.
To write the chemical equations for these two reactions, we need to understand the chemical formulas of each compound involved.
CuSO4 represents copper(II) sulfate, where Cu is the symbol for copper, S stands for sulfur, and O represents oxygen. Copper(II) sulfate has a 2+ charge, meaning it loses two electrons in a chemical reaction.
LiNO3 represents lithium nitrate, where Li is the symbol for lithium and NO3 represents the nitrate ion. Nitrate (NO3) has a charge of -1, which means it gains one electron in a chemical reaction.
Now let's write the equation for the reaction between copper(II) sulfate and lithium nitrate:
CuSO4 + 2LiNO3
In this reaction, copper(II) sulfate reacts with lithium nitrate. However, we need to balance the equation to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides:
CuSO4 + 2LiNO3 -> Cu(NO3)2 + Li2SO4
Now let's move on to the second reaction:
Potassium sulfate is represented as K2SO4, where K is the symbol for potassium and SO4 represents the sulfate ion. Sulfate (SO4) has a charge of -2, meaning it gains two electrons in a chemical reaction.
Lithium nitrate is still represented as LiNO3.
Writing the equation for the reaction between potassium sulfate and lithium nitrate:
K2SO4 + 2LiNO3 -> 2KNO3 + Li2SO4
Now you have the balanced equations for both reactions.
