Balance equation and type of reaction thx!
1. Al(HSO3)3 + O2 --->
2. Ag + Cu(NO3)2 --->
3. N2O4 --->
It helps us to help you if you use the same screen name. Different names confuse us and you DON'T get a faster answer.
Explain what you don't understand about these. 1 is combustion, 2 is single replacement, and 3 is decomposition.
I hate chemistry ahhhh :( iono how to do these
"I hate chemistry" and "I don't know how to do these" are not expressions that tell me what you don't understand about these. For example, I told you that N2O4 --> was a decomposition. You should know from that that a single molecule (N2O4) decomposes to another substance. A likely choice is
N2O4 ==> 2NO2
Sure! Let's balance the equations and determine the types of reactions for each one:
1. Al(HSO3)3 + O2 --->
To balance this equation, we need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides. Let's start by balancing the aluminum (Al) atoms:
Al(HSO3)3 + O2 ---> Al2(SO3)3
Now let's balance the sulfur (S) atoms:
Al(HSO3)3 + O2 ---> 2Al2(SO3)3
Finally, let's balance the oxygen (O) atoms:
Al(HSO3)3 + 3O2 ---> 2Al2(SO3)3
The balanced equation is: Al(HSO3)3 + 3O2 ---> 2Al2(SO3)3
This is a combustion reaction, as Al reacts with O2 to produce aluminum sulfite (Al2(SO3)3).
2. Ag + Cu(NO3)2 --->
To balance this equation, we start by balancing the copper (Cu) atoms:
Ag + Cu(NO3)2 ---> Ag + Cu(NO3)2
The equation is already balanced, as there is one Cu atom on each side.
This is a single replacement reaction, as silver (Ag) replaces copper (Cu) in the compound.
3. N2O4 --->
In this equation, we only have one compound. To balance it, we need an equal number of nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) atoms on both sides. Since we have two nitrogen atoms in N2O4, we need two molecules of N2O4:
N2O4 ---> 2NO2
The balanced equation is: N2O4 ---> 2NO2
This is a decomposition reaction, as N2O4 breaks down into two molecules of nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
