Answer:
Question 1.
a. the product of the reaction above that contains calcium is calcium chloride, CaCl₂.
b. the reactant, hydrochloric acid, HCl contains hydrogen
c. the product water, H₂O contains hydrogen
d. the reactant, calcium carbonate, CaCO₃ contains carbon
e. The product carbon (iv) oxide contains carbon
Question 2:
a. atoms of hydrogen and oxygen bonded together as a single compound known as water molecules are present at the start of the reaction
b. two molecules of water are present at the start of the reaction
c. two individual atoms of hydrogen and oxygen existing as molecules are present at the end of the reaction.
d. at the end of the reaction, two molecules of hydrogen and one molecule of oxygen are present.
Question 3:
a. total mass of products = 187 g
b. if Chinua starts with 10 g of magnesium, the same 10 g of magnesium will be found in the magnesium sulfate
Explanation:
Question 1: The equation of the reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid is given as follows: + 2HCl ---> CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂
a. the product of the reaction above that contains calcium is calcium chloride, CaCl₂.
b. the reactant, hydrochloric acid, HCl contains hydrogen
c. the product water, H₂O contains hydrogen
d. the reactant, calcium carbonate, CaCO₃ contains carbon
e. The product carbon (iv) oxide contains carbon
Question 2: the equation of the reaction in which water is broken down to hydrogen and oxygen is as follows: 2H₂O ----> 2H₂ + O₂
a. atoms of hydrogen and oxygen bonded together as a single compound known as water molecules are present at the start of the reaction
b. two molecules of water are present at the start of the reaction
c. two individual atoms of hydrogen and oxygen existing as molecules are present at the end of the reaction.
d. at the end of the reaction, two molecules of hydrogen and one molecule of oxygen are present.
Question 3: The equation of the reaction between magnesium and sulfuric acid is given as follows: Mg + H₂SO₄ ---> MgSO₄ + H₂
molar mass of Mg = 24.0 g; molar mass of H₂SO₄ = 98.0 g
a. when 37.0 g of magnesium is reacted with 150 g of H₂SO₄, the total mass of products of the reaction is equal to the total mass of the reactants according to the law of conservation of mass.
Total mass of products = 150 + 37 = 187 g
b. if Chinua starts with 10 g of magnesium, the same 10 g of magnesium will be found in the magnesium sulfate
