Problem Context

Write net equations for each of the combinations of reactants below. Use appropriate ionic and molecular formulas and omit formulas for all ions or molecules that do not take part in a reaction. Write structural formulas for all organic substances. You need not balance the equations. All reactions occur in aqueous solution unless otherwise indicated.

a.

Solid ammonium chloride and solid calcium hydroxide are mixed.

Model Answer

NH4Cl + Ca(OH)2 → CaCl2 + NH3 + H2O

b.

Excess carbon dioxide gas is bubbled into a sodium hydroxide solution.

Model Answer

CO2 + OH– → HCO3

c.

Sodium sulfite is added to a neutral potassium permanganate solution.

Model Answer

SO32– + MnO4– → SO42– + MnO2

d.

Aqueous hydrofluoric acid is placed on a piece of silica.

Model Answer

HF + SiO2 → SiF4 + H2O

e.

Chlorobenzene is heated with a mixture of concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids.

Model Answer

C6H5Cl + H+ + NO3– → or

f.

Iodine-131 undergoes radioactive decay.

Model Answer

131 53I → 0 -1β + 131 54Xe or 131 53I → 4 2He + 127 51Sb (for half credit)
