PLEASE HELP!!! NEED TO PASS THIS TO THE FIRST SEMESTER!

Are Reaction 1 and 2 balanced? If the reaction is not balanced, then state how you would balance it. Then, provide the balanced equation.

What kind of reaction does each reaction represents?

Answer:

Reaction 1 is balanced but 2 is not balanced , the balance equation are :

1. [tex]CH_{3}COOH(aq) + NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g) + H_{2}O(l) + CH_{3}COONa(aq)[/tex]

2.[tex]CaCl_{2}(aq) + 2NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CaCO_{3}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + 2NaCl(aq) + H_{2}O(aq)[/tex]

Explanation:

Balanced Equations : These are the equation which follows the law of conservation of mass .

The total number of atoms present in reactant is equal to total number of atoms present in product.

1. [tex]CH_{3}COOH(aq) + NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g) + H_{2}O(l) + CH_{3}COONa(aq)[/tex]

This is acid - base type reaction where

[tex]CH_{3}COOH(aq)[/tex] act as Acid

[tex] NaHCO_{3}(aq)[/tex] act as weak base

Reactant :[tex]CH_{3}COOH(aq)[/tex] ,[tex]NaHCO_{3}[/tex]

Number of atoms of :

C = 2 ([tex]CH_{3}COOH(aq)[/tex]) + 1 ([tex]NaHCO_{3}[/tex])

   = 2 + 1

   = 3

H  = 4([tex]CH_{3}COOH(aq)[/tex]) + 1 ([tex]NaHCO_{3}[/tex])

     = 4 + 1

       5

O = 2([tex]CH_{3}COOH(aq)[/tex]) + 3 ([tex]NaHCO_{3}[/tex])

    = 5

Na = 1 ([tex]NaHCO_{3}[/tex])

     = 1

Product :  [tex]CO_{2}(g)[/tex],[tex]H_{2}O(l)[/tex] , [tex]CH_{3}COONa(aq)[/tex]

Number of atoms :

C = 1([tex]CO_{2}(g)[/tex]) + 2([tex]CH_{3}COONa(aq)[/tex])

   = 1 + 2

   = 3

H = 2([tex]H_{2}O(l)[/tex]) + 3([tex]CH_{3}COONa(aq)[/tex])

   = 2 + 3

   = 5

O = 1([tex]H_{2}O(l)[/tex]) + 2([tex]CH_{3}COONa(aq)[/tex])

        +2([tex]CO_{2}(g)[/tex]

    = 1 + 2 + 2

    = 5

Na = 1([tex]CH_{3}COONa(aq)[/tex]

     = 1

Number of Na =1 , C = 3 , H= 5 and O =5 in both reactant and product , so it is a balanced reaction

2.[tex]CaCl_{2}(aq) + 2NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CaCO_{3}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + 2NaCl(aq) + CO_{2}(g)[/tex]

This is double displacement reaction .

Check the balancing in both reactant and products should be :

Na = 2

H = 2

Ca = 1

C = 2

O = 6

Cl = 2
