which of the following is a chemical reaction?
A) propane forms a flame and emits heat as it burns.
B) Acetone feels cold as it evaporates from the skin.
C) Bubbling is observed when potassium carbonate and hydrochloric acid solutions are mixed.
D) Heat is felt when a warm object is placed in your hand.
I think that A and C are chemical reactions. Is that correct?
I have to write out these following equations with correct chemical symbols and such.
Can you check my work? I know it looks horrible!
A) Solid lead(II) reacts with aqueous hydrochloric acid to form solid lead(II) chloride and dihydrogen sulfide gas.
My answer: PbS(s) + HCl(aq) --> PBCl + H(subscript2)S
B) Gaseous carbon monoxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form gaseous methane and liquid water
My answer: CO(g) + H(g) ---> CH(subscript4)(g) + H(subscript2)O
C) Solid iron(III) oxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form solid iron and liquid water
My answer: Fe(subscript3)O(s) + H(g) ---> Fe+H(subscript2) O
D) Gaseous ammonia reacts with gaseous oxygen to form gaseous nitrogen monoxide and gaseous water
My answer: NH(subscript3)(g) + O(g) ---> NO(g) + H(subscript2) O(g)

That is correct. B and D are physical changes.

A) Solid lead(II) reacts with aqueous hydrochloric acid to form solid lead(II) chloride and dihydrogen sulfide gas.
My answer: PbS(s) + HCl(aq) --> PBCl + H(subscript2)S
Why did you start this way. The problem states lead (II). Why did you start with PbS and not Pb? Actually, the problem is flawed because there is a Pb(II) ion but there is no such thing as SOLID Pb(II). The prof may have intended this as a hint that the valence of Pb is +2 in this reaction since Pb has two common valences; i.e., +2 and +4.
B) Gaseous carbon monoxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form gaseous methane and liquid water
My answer: CO(g) + H(g) ---> CH(subscript4)(g) + H(subscript2)O
H comes as a diatomic molecules when it is not combined with another atom. And your equation isn't balanced either. Here is the way it will look.
CO(g) + 3H2(g) ==> CH4(g) + H2O(l)
C) Solid iron(III) oxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form solid iron and liquid water
My answer: Fe(subscript3)O(s) + H(g) ---> Fe+H(subscript2) O
iron(III) oxide is Fe2O3. Do you not know how to write the formulas when you know the valence (oxidation state)? H should be diatomic. Fe on the right should show (s) and H2O should be H2O(l). I will let you redo it.
D) Gaseous ammonia reacts with gaseous oxygen to form gaseous nitrogen monoxide and gaseous water
My answer: NH(subscript3)(g) + O(g) ---> NO(g) + H(subscript2) O(g)
O comes as a diatomic molecule when it isn't combined with another atom. There is a fairly simple way of know which atoms are diatomic. That means it must be rebalanced although it isn't balanced now, either.

I should have said that I wanted to solve the balances afterward.

Which observation is consistent with a chemical reaction occurring? Why?
I apologize for the confusion. Let's go through your answers again to check the chemical symbols and balance the equations:
A) Solid lead(II) reacts with aqueous hydrochloric acid to form solid lead(II) chloride and dihydrogen sulfide gas.
Your answer: PbS(s) + HCl(aq) --> PBCl + H2S
Correction: The correct chemical symbols for lead(II) chloride and dihydrogen sulfide are PbCl2 and H2S, respectively. The balanced equation will look like this:
Pb(s) + 2HCl(aq) --> PbCl2(s) + H2S(g)
B) Gaseous carbon monoxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form gaseous methane and liquid water
Your answer: CO(g) + H(g) ---> CH4(g) + H2O
Correction: The chemical symbol for methane is CH4, and water should be in its liquid state (H2O(l)). Also, for balancing the equation, you need to have the same number of atoms on each side. The balanced equation will look like this:
CO(g) + 3H2(g) ---> CH4(g) + H2O(l)
C) Solid iron(III) oxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form solid iron and liquid water
Your answer: Fe3O(s) + H(g) ---> Fe + H2O
Correction: The chemical formula for iron(III) oxide is Fe2O3, and hydrogen should be diatomic (H2). Additionally, solid iron should be represented as Fe(s), and liquid water as H2O(l). The balanced equation will look like this:
Fe2O3(s) + 3H2(g) ---> 2Fe(s) + 3H2O(l)
D) Gaseous ammonia reacts with gaseous oxygen to form gaseous nitrogen monoxide and gaseous water
Your answer: NH3(g) + O(g) ---> NO(g) + H2O(g)
Correction: The chemical symbol for water should be H2O(l), as water is in its liquid state at room temperature. The balanced equation will look like this:
4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) ---> 4NO(g) + 6H2O(l)
To summarize, the corrected chemical equations are as follows:
A) Pb(s) + 2HCl(aq) --> PbCl2(s) + H2S(g)
B) CO(g) + 3H2(g) ---> CH4(g) + H2O(l)
C) Fe2O3(s) + 3H2(g) ---> 2Fe(s) + 3H2O(l)
D) 4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) ---> 4NO(g) + 6H2O(l)
I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, please let me know.
