write word equations and balanced chemical equations for each of the following reactions:
a)calcium bicarbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid.
b)magnesium hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid.
c)Aluminum hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid.
a) Word Equation: Calcium bicarbonate + Hydrochloric acid → Calcium chloride + Carbon dioxide + Water
Balanced Chemical Equation: Ca(HCO3)2 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + 2CO2 + 2H2O
b) Word Equation: Magnesium hydroxide + Hydrochloric acid → Magnesium chloride + Water
Balanced Chemical Equation: Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl → MgCl2 + 2H2O
c) Word Equation: Aluminum hydroxide + Hydrochloric acid → Aluminum chloride + Water
Balanced Chemical Equation: Al(OH)3 + 3HCl → AlCl3 + 3H2O
a) To write a word equation for the reaction between calcium bicarbonate and hydrochloric acid, we need to identify the chemical formulas of the compounds involved. The formula for calcium bicarbonate is Ca(HCO3)2, and the formula for hydrochloric acid is HCl.
The word equation can be written as:
Calcium bicarbonate + Hydrochloric acid → Calcium chloride + Water + Carbon dioxide
Now let's write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction:
Ca(HCO3)2 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
b) For the reaction between magnesium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid, the chemical formulas are Mg(OH)2 for magnesium hydroxide and HCl for hydrochloric acid.
The word equation is:
Magnesium hydroxide + Hydrochloric acid → Magnesium chloride + Water
The balanced chemical equation is:
Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl → MgCl2 + 2H2O
c) Finally, let's write the word equation and balanced chemical equation for the reaction between aluminum hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. The chemical formulas are Al(OH)3 for aluminum hydroxide and HCl for hydrochloric acid.
The word equation is:
Aluminum hydroxide + Hydrochloric acid → Aluminum chloride + Water
The balanced chemical equation is:
Al(OH)3 + 3HCl → AlCl3 + 3H2O
