SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on balancing chemical reactions, featuring specific examples and their balanced equations. The reactions include zinc sulfate with barium nitrate, gold (III) sulfate with barium chloride, and the complete combustion of ethane, among others. Each reaction is presented with its unbalanced form followed by the correctly balanced equation. The final correction for the reaction involving calcium carbonate and hydrobromic acid is also noted, emphasizing the importance of accurate chemical representation.

Hi, I'm pretty sure I have the idea here. but can i just get a "looks good" from someone? :smile:

Write and balance equations for the following reactions:
a) zinc sulphate + barium nitrate →
ZnSO4 + Ba(NO3)2 --> Zn(NO3)2 + BaSO4


b) gold (III) sulphate + barium chloride →
Au2(SO4)3 + 3BaCl2 --> 3BaSO4 + 2AuCl3


c) zinc + mercourous nitrate →
Zn + HgNO3 --> Hg + Zn(NO3)

d) tin + antimony (V) chloride →
5Sn + 2SbCl5 --> 5SnCl2 + 2Sb


e) calcium + water →
Ca + 2H2O ---> Ca(OH)2 + H2

f) ferrous bromide + phosphoric acid →
3FeBr2 + 2H3PO 4 --> 6HBr + Fe3(PO4)2


g) the complete combustion of ethane, C2H4 →
C2H4 + 3O2 --> 2CO2 + 2H2O


h) calcium carbonate + hydrobromic acid →
CaCO3+ 2Hbr --> Ca(BrO3)2+ H2CO3


Thanks for your time
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
The last (h)) should be,of course

CaCO_{3}+2HBr\rightarrow CaBr_{2}+H_{2}CO_{3}

Daniel.

P.S.You may also write ...+H_{2}O+CO_{2}
