Translate the following statements into chemical equations and then balance them.
(a) Hydrogen gas combines with nitrogen to form ammonia.
(b) Hydrogen sulphide gas burns in air to give water and sulpur dioxide.
(c) Barium chloride reacts with aluminium sulphate to give aluminium chloride and a precipitate of barium sulphate.
(d) Potassium metal reacts with water to give potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
(a) Hydrogen gas combines with nitrogen to form ammonia
H2 + N2 ---------→ NH3
Hydrogen gas nitrogen gas Ammonia
3H2 + N2 -----------→ 3NH3
Hydrogen gas NItrogen gas Ammonia
(b) Hydrogen sulphide gas burns in air to give water and sulpur dioxide
H2S(g) + O2(g) ----------------→ H2O(l) + SO2(g)
Hydrogen sulphide gas Oxygen (from air) water Sulpur dioxide
2H2S(g) + 3O2(g) --------------→ 2H2O(l) + 2SO2(g)
(c) Barium chloride reacts with aluminium sulphate to give aluminium chloride and a precipitate of barium sulphate
BaCl2(aq) + Al2(SO4)3(aq) --------→ AlCl3(aq) + BaSO4(s)
Barium chloride Aluminium sulphate Aluminium chloride Barium sulphate
3BaCl2(aq) + Al2(SO4)3(aq) -------→ 2AlCl3(aq) + 3BaSO4(s)
(d) Potassium metal reacts with water to give potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas
K(s) + H2O(l) -----→ KOH(aq) + H2(g)
Potassium Water potassium hydroxide hydrogen gas
2K(s) + 2H2O(l) ------- → 2KOH(q) + H2(g)
