These two aCIDS DO not REACT, BECAUSE OF THE COMON ION (h^(+)) EFFECT,

What is the balanced chemical equation for zinc plus acetic acid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Zinc hydroxide is (almost) insoluble in water, while caesium acetate is soluble

Zn(CH₃COO)₂(aq) + 2 CsOH(aq) → Zn(OH)₂(s)↓ + 2 Cs(CH₃COO)

The net ionic equation is:

Zn2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) --> Zn(OH)2(s)

What is the the chemical formula for a compound having one barium ion and two chloride ions?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ba^(2+) + 2Cl^(-) = BaCl2

Notice, the barium ion hs a charge of '2+' . This must be balanced by a charge of '2-' . This is done by having 2 chloride ions 'Cl^- & Cl^- ..Hence (2Cl^-).

BaCl2 is barium chloride. It is an ionic crystalline solid at STP.

Solid calcium carbonate reacts with hydrogen chloride forming an aqueous solution of calcium chloride and evolution of carbon dioxide what is the chemical equation and what type of reaction is this?

User Avatar

Asked by Mrs0808

The Balanced reaction equation is

2HCl(aq) + CaCO3(s) = CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Type of reaction is 'neutralisation'. The acid is being neutralised to a salt, water and carbon dioxide.

It can also be thought of as an 'Acid + Carbonate' reaction.

What are the substances on the right side of an equation called?

Asked by Wiki User

Products are placed in the right side of the chemical reaction.

What is the reaction equation of nitric acid with potassium carbonate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

2HNO3 + K2CO3 = 2KNO3 + H2O + CO2

Remember the general equations for acid and carbonate.

Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide.

NB

Other general equations for acid reactions are

Acid + Base = Salt + Water

Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water

Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen.

A chemical equation that shows the same number of each kind of atoms on both sides of the equation is what?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Remember the Law of Conservation of Mass. This means that the given number of atoms and elements on both sides of the reaction eq'n MUST be the same.

It is also known as a BALANCED EQUATION.

e.g.

2KOH + H2SO4 = K2SO4 + 2H2O

In this case the prefix '2' of KOH, indicates that there are 2 x K , 2 x O & 2 x H. The suffix '2' in H2SO4 indicates 2 X H , only 1 x S & 4 x O.

So overall on the reaction side we have

2 x K

6 x O

4 X H

1 x S .

You MUST end up with this same numbers on the product side.

Hence we have in K2SO4 , 2 x K, 1 x S , & 4 x O. The prefix '2' of H2O indicates that there are 2 x 2 = 4 H & 2 x 1 =2 O

Hence, overall we have on the product side

2 x K

4 + 2 = 6 x O

4 x H

1 x S

This agrees with the reactant numbers and elements, so the chemical reaction equation is balanced.

Hope that helps!!!!

What is the balanced chemical equation for phosphorus oxide phosphorus and?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You r question does not make sense, as it ends in 'and?'.

However, Phosphorus oxide is usually named as 'phosphorus pentoxide.

The formula being 'P2O5'. Phosphorus pentoxide often form the dimer 'P4O10',

Asked by Wiki User

Iodine in the iodized salt exist as iodine salts (potassium iodide/iodate or sodium iodide/iodate).
These salts are dissolved and dissociated in the organism as NaCl.

What is the chemical equation for vinegar and a eggshell?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The acetic acid in vinegar will eventually dissolve the egg shell (composed from calcite, a crystalline form of calcium carbonate) away entirely. Without the hard shell, the albumin and the yolk will be held egg-shaped by the thin skin of the inner shell membrane. The inner skin membrane is between the hard outer shell and the albumin (commonly called egg white).
