1. Balance the following equations. Write ionic and net ionic equations.
(a) Na2S(aq) + ZnCl2(aq) →
(b) K3PO4(aq) + Sr(NO3)2(aq) →
(c) Mg(NO3)2(aq) + NaOH(aq) →
2. Classify the following reactions:
A. Ca2+ + CO32- → CaCO3
B. NH3 + H+ → NH4+
C. Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2
D. Ca + F2 → CaF2
E. Na2CO3 + 2HCl → 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O
F. 2NaI + Cl2 → 2NaCl + I2
G. CaCO3 → CaO + CO2
4. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas that combines with hemoglobin in the blood,
thus reducing the amount of oxygen that can be delivered to tissues. Under certain
conditions, CO is formed when ethane (C2H6) in natural gas is burned in the presence of
oxygen. Using the balanced equation, how many g of CO are produced from 3.5 mol of
C2H6?
5. Aspirin is made by the reaction of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride. What is the
theoretical yield of aspirin if 85.0 g of salicylic acid is treated with excess acetic anhydride?
Suppose that the yield of aspirin by the reaction shown above is 75%. How many grams
of salicylic acid would be required to give an actual yield of 25.0 g of aspirin?
