Questions:

1. Consider the following chemical reactions below. Balance the chemical equations and
classify them according to the type of reaction they represent.
a) Na + I2 → NaI
b) KClO3 → KCl + O2
c) C3H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
d) Mg(NO3)2 + K3PO4 → Mg3(PO4)2 + KNO3

2. Silver becomes tarnished in houses because of the presence of small amounts of hydrogen
sulphide. The reaction that takes place is the following:
4Ag(s) + 2H2S(g) + O2(g) → 2Ag2S(s) + 2H2O(l)
If 18.5 g of Ag is in contact with 4.55 g of H2S, determine the mass of Ag2S formed.

3. Let’s consider the following reaction:

Na2CO3(aq) + HNO3(aq) → NaNO3(s) + H2O(l)

For this reaction, the rate of disappearance of Na2CO3 is 3.86 x10-3 M/s. This means the
rate for other species are: 4
4. Write equilibrium constant expressions for the following reactions. For gases, use both
pressures and concentrations.

6. Dinitrogen trioxide decomposes to NO and NO2 in an endothermic process (H = +
40,5 kJ/mol).

N2O3 (g) ⇄ NO (g) + NO2 (g)
