In summary: Cu2+(aq)+2Na+(aq)+S2-(aq)--->CS(s)+2NO-3(aq)+2Na+(aq)Cu2+ S2- Yes, it could be CuS because it is a solid.

Homework Statement


can anyone answer these questions what happens if you add HCl to NaHCO3 also what happens if you add HCl to magnesium and HCl to burnt magnesium what do these tests mean? also how many significant figures can you obtain with the centigram balance and with the electronic balance. If someone can help please

1st and 3rd one - these have to do with exchanging ions of AB + CD ---> AD and CB (double replacement or methathesis reactions). What is the compound that is made after Mg is burned in air?

2nd one is exchanging AB + C ----> AC + B

these are the relevant equations,

your attempt at a solution??

centigram balance - how many decimal places is this?
electronic balance can vary depending on if it is a lab balance or an analytical (very sensitive) balance

thank you maybe you can also help me with these. In the following total ionic equation, which ions are spectators Cu2+(aq)+2Na+(aq)+S2-(aq)--->CS(s)+2NO-3(aq)+2Na+(aq)
answers a)CU2+ b)Na+ c)NO-3 d)S2- aould this be CuS because it is a solid?
Also Suppose you tried to carry out a double replacement reaction by mixing together equalvoulumes of a solution that contains dissolved NaOH and a solution that contains dissolved NaCl. what would you expect to happen when the two solutions mixed? a) Asolid would form b Asolid would not form I think it would not

centigram balance - how many decimal places is this? well what I read it says that a centigram balance is .01 and electronice is .001?
electronic balance can vary depending on if it is a lab balance or an analytical (very sensitive) balance

with HCl and NaHCO3, these compounds dissociate in solution in the form of

AB + CD ---> AC + BD
A+ + B- + C+ + D- ----> rearrage to exchange partners AD + CB

H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + Na+(aq) + HCO3-(aq) ---> how would you rearrage to get products?

The number of sigfigs depends on what is on the balance. If you are talking about precision then if it is a centigram balance, the precision is to 0.01g. If nothing is on the balance and it reads 0.00g - how many sig figs is this? If you have a beaker on the balance that has a mass of 150.00 g, how many sig figs is this?

same for the electronic balance and its precision, which is what I meant by "it can vary". Some are precise to 0.001 or 0.0001 g.

I think the question is probably referring to, how many decimal places are significant on these balances.

look at this again, I think you have missed an ion on the left hand side. Also what is the definition of a spectator ion? review this and it may help you to work it out better.
 

1. What is the chemical reaction that occurs when HCl is added to NaHCO3?

When HCl (hydrochloric acid) is added to NaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate), a chemical reaction occurs where the two substances combine to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), which then breaks down into water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and sodium chloride (NaCl).

2. What are the physical observations that can be made when HCl is added to NaHCO3?

When HCl is added to NaHCO3, the reaction will produce effervescence (bubbling) due to the release of carbon dioxide gas. The mixture will also become warmer as energy is released during the reaction. Additionally, the solution may turn cloudy or change color depending on the concentration of the substances.

3. What is the purpose of adding HCl to NaHCO3 in experiments?

Adding HCl to NaHCO3 is often used in experiments to demonstrate the formation of carbonic acid and its subsequent decomposition into water and carbon dioxide gas. This reaction is also commonly used in baking as a leavening agent to help baked goods rise.

4. Is the reaction between HCl and NaHCO3 exothermic or endothermic?

The reaction between HCl and NaHCO3 is exothermic, meaning that it releases energy in the form of heat. This is why the mixture becomes warmer when the two substances are combined.

5. What safety precautions should be taken when working with HCl and NaHCO3?

HCl and NaHCO3 are both corrosive substances and should be handled with caution. It is important to wear protective gear such as gloves and goggles when working with these chemicals. Additionally, the reaction between HCl and NaHCO3 can produce carbon dioxide gas, so it is important to work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling too much gas.
