Types of Chemical Reactions: Can You Write the Condensed Word Equation?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around assistance with writing condensed word equations for various chemical reactions. The user presents several equations, seeking confirmation on their accuracy and clarity. Key points include the correction of chemical nomenclature, such as identifying ClO- as "hypochlorite," and clarifying that C8H18 is octane. Other corrections involve recognizing FeCl3 as "iron chloride," and the proper naming of KCl as "potassium chloride," not "potassium carbon iodide." Additionally, the user is informed that Ni represents nickel, not nitrogen, and that gold should be referred to as "gold(I) oxide" for accuracy. The user expresses confusion about the corrections and seeks further clarification on the mistakes made in their initial attempts. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding chemical nomenclature and the classification of reactions, such as redox and combustion.

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?

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
