Types of Chemical Reactions

[Raza]

Hello, I just need some help on these questions and some explaining.

I need help writing the condensed word equation for these chemical equations:

A) Li + Hg(ClO)_2 \xrightarrow~Hg + LiClO
Maybe: Lithium + Mercury(II) Chlorine oxide ------> Lithium Carbonate

B) C_8H_1_8 + O_2 \xrightarrow~CO_2 + H_2O
Maybe: Hydrocarbon + oxygen ------> Carbonate + Water

C) KOH + FeCl_3 \xrightarrow~KCI + Fe(OH)_3
Maybe: Potassium Hydroxide + Iron Chlorate ------> Iron (III) Hydroxide

D) Au + O_2 \xrightarrow~Au_2O
Maybe: Gold + Oxygen ------> Gold oxide

E) KCI\xrightarrow~K + Cl_2
Maybe: Potassium Carbon Iodine ------> Chlorine

F) Ni + Cl_2 \xrightarrow~NiCl_3
Maybe: Nitrogen + Chlorine ------> Nitrogen Chloride

G) Sr(IO_3)_2 \xrightarrow~SrI_2 + O_2
Maybe: Strontium(II) Iodate ----> Strontium Diodite

And also, how would you write this out into a chemical equation:
A solution of carbonate and hydrogen hydroxide are produced when limewater reacts with your breath.

\xrightarrow~


Thanks :smile:

A: redox reaction; B: total combustion; C: precipitation; D: oxidation; E: electrolysis; and F: redox reaction.

Our breath contains carbon dioxide; and this gives calcium carbonate precipitate when it reacts with lime water (Ca(OH)2).

What about the word equations, did I do them right?
by the way, I know only three of them ; synthesis, decomposition and combustion. This is for grade 11 chemistry.

Your nomenclature contains some serious error, unfortunately. You need to study about chemical nomenclature rules a bit more intensely.

First: ClO- anion is "hypochlorite".
Second: The hydrocarbon is octane, but you may generalize it by writing like CnH2n+2.
Third: FeCl3 is read as "iron chloride".
Fourth: It is okay, but since gold contains 1+ and 3+ charges, it would be better to include its oxidation state by saying "gold(I) oxide"; but the one you wrote is not wrong at all.
Fifth: "Potassium carbon iodide" is a mistake; this one should be "potassium chloride". Moreover, this is not a nuclear reaction in which you convert iodine to chlorine :smile:
Sixth: Ni is the symbol for nickel metal, not nitrogen, which is shown with N.

Thank You very much.
This whole thing is confusing to me.
And is that all the mistake?

Can someone please help me?
