unkown2 Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 Hi,I need help on classifying chemical reactions. I must classify between a single replacement, double replacement, synthesis,and decomposition. I also need to complete the following equations. I basically know how to complete the equation if I knew what kind of reaction it is. Can anyone give me tips on how to recognize what kind of chemical reaction it is? HCL(aq) + Zn(s)-> H2O2 +MnO2-> I think that this is a double replacement. CuCl2(aq)+ Mg(s)-> NH4NO3(aq)+NaOH(aq)-> Cu(NO3)2(aq)+Ni(s)-> AgNO3(aq)+NaCl(aq)-> I think that this is a single replacement. Ni(NO3)2(aq)+Cu(s)-> HCL(aq)+CaCO3-> I need this on Monday so if anyone can help me till then it would be great.Thanks in advance.
scientistsahai Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 2HCl+Zn(s)---->ZnCl2+H2 H2O2+MnO2---> CuCl2(aq)+ Mg(s)->MgCl2+Cu NH4NO3(aq)+NaOH(aq)->NaNO3+NH3+H20 Cu(NO3)2(aq)+Ni(s)-> AgNO3(aq)+NaCl(aq)-> AgCl+NaNO3 Ni(NO3)2(aq)+Cu(s)-> HCL(aq)+CaCO3->CaCl2+H2O+CO2 I HOPE THESE ARE CORRECT ;REST DON'T KNOW
YT2095 Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 h2o2+mno2= mno2+o+h2o the mno2 is only a catalyst, it remains unaffected (therein lies a clue) the other 2 you`ll have to work out the respective valency to see what metal will displace what (if at all)
unkown2 Posted February 14, 2004 Author Posted February 14, 2004 Thanks you guys.After some time of hard research I got some answers now.Care to check them?You can just tell me which are wrong and I'll try fixing them up. 2HCL(aq) + Zn(s)-> H2(g)+ZnCl2(aq)-single replacement 2H2O2 +MnO2-> 2O2+2H2O+Mn-Decomposition? CuCl2(aq)+ Mg(s)->MgCl2(aq)+Cu(s)-single replacement NH4NO3(aq)+NaOH(aq)->NaNO3+NH3+H2O-double replacement Cu(NO3)2(aq)+Ni(s)->Cu(s)+Ni(NO3)2(aq)-single replacement AgNO3(aq)+NaCl(aq)->NaNO3(aq)+AgCl(s)-double replacement Ni(NO3)2(aq)+Cu(s)->Ni(s)+Cu(NO3)2(aq)-single replacement 2HCL(aq)+CaCO3(s)->CaCl2(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g)-double replacement
YT2095 Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 "NH4NO3(aq)+NaOH(aq)->NaNO3+NH3+H2O-double replacement" that one`s a bit tricky as the NH3 (gas) will instantly combine with the water to make NH4OH. but the rest look just fine
unkown2 Posted February 14, 2004 Author Posted February 14, 2004 So its NH4NO3(aq)+NaOH(aq)->NH4OH+NaNO3? And one more question, MnO2 + 2H2O2 = O2 +2H2O + MnO2 and 2H2O2 +MnO2-> 2O2+2H2O+Mn which is correct?
YT2095 Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 the top one as stated before, the MnO2 remains unchanged as it`s only a catalyst
aommaster Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 MnO2 + 2H2O2 = O2 +2H2O + MnO2 DEFINITELY! The manganese oxide (MnO2) only acts as a catalyst. It remains unchanged but speeds up the decomposition of H2O2(hydrogen peroxide)
wolfson Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 MnO2 + 2H2O2 = O2 +2H2O + HEAT ENERGY as MnO2 is a catalyst, thus is non changed, and a collecting agent.
unkown2 Posted February 15, 2004 Author Posted February 15, 2004 Thank you very much,all of you for helping me!!!
