I am suppose to write a chemical reactions for each of the following:

A) HNO3(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq)

B) C7H16 + O2

C) Ca + KBr

D) Cl2 + HF

F) Cl2 + HI

How do I know if they have any chemical reactions and how do I write them out?

I really really really really really really need help in this and soon as possible.

Thanks :smile:

B is complete oxidation /combustion
C7H16 + 11O2 -> 8H2O + 7CO2

For D) and F) I think you have to apply the following: As the halogen atom gets bigger, the bonding pair gets more and more distant from the nucleus. The attraction is less, and the bond gets weaker

Chlorine is a good oxidant, but not good to oxidize fluorine (actually, elemental fluorine can only be obtained with electrolysis; no redox reaction is available for fluorine). So I think no reaction will be produced in D. In E, chlorine is sufficiently powerful to oxidize iodide, giving iodine and chloride. Please do the rest by yourself.
