Question
balance the following equation: na₂co₃ + hcl → nacl + h₂o + co₂ your answer classify the reaction: 2kclo₃ → 2kcl + 3o₂ your answer classify the reaction: fe + cuso₄ → feso₄ + cu your answer classify the reaction: 2naoh + co₂ → na₂co₃ + h₂o your answer
Step1: Balance the first equation
Start with sodium (\(Na\)): On the left, there are \(2\) \(Na\) atoms in \(Na_{2}CO_{3}\). On the right, there is \(1\) \(Na\) atom in \(NaCl\). So, put a coefficient of \(2\) in front of \(NaCl\). Now for chlorine (\(Cl\)): There is \(1\) \(Cl\) atom in \(HCl\) and \(2\) \(Cl\) atoms in \(2NaCl\), so put a coefficient of \(2\) in front of \(HCl\). Check other elements: Carbon (\(C\)) has \(1\) atom on both sides, oxygen (\(O\)) has \(3 + 2=5\) on the left (\(3\) in \(Na_{2}CO_{3}\) and \(2\) from \(2HCl\)’s oxygen contribution considering the products) and \(1 + 2 = 3\) from \(H_{2}O\) and \(CO_{2}\) (after balancing) which is correct. The balanced equation is \(Na_{2}CO_{3}+2HCl = 2NaCl + H_{2}O+CO_{2}\).
Step2: Classify the second reaction
In \(2KClO_{3}\to2KCl + 3O_{2}\), one compound (\(KClO_{3}\)) breaks down into two simpler substances (\(KCl\) and \(O_{2}\)). This is a decomposition reaction.
Step3: Classify the third reaction
In \(Fe+CuSO_{4}\to FeSO_{4}+Cu\), iron (\(Fe\)) replaces copper (\(Cu\)) in \(CuSO_{4}\). According to the single - replacement reaction definition (a reaction where one element replaces another element in a compound), this is a single - replacement reaction.
Step4: Classify the fourth reaction
In \(2NaOH + CO_{2}\to Na_{2}CO_{3}+H_{2}O\), \(CO_{2}\) (an acidic oxide) reacts with \(NaOH\) (a base) to form a salt (\(Na_{2}CO_{3}\)) and water (\(H_{2}O\)). This is an acid - base (or more precisely, a reaction between a base and an acidic oxide) reaction, which can also be seen as a synthesis reaction in a broader sense (two substances combine to form a more complex substance, but the acid - base nature is more specific here. However, if we consider basic classification, it can be seen as a type of synthesis where non - metal oxide reacts with base).
