a) KNO3® KNO2 + ½ O2
b) La2O3 + 3 H2O ® 2 La(OH)3
c) NCl3 + 3 H2O ® NH3 + 3 HOCl
d) Mg3N2 + 8 HCl ® 3 MgCl2 + 2 NH4Cl
e) 2 AgNO3 + K2SO4 ® Ag2SO4 + 2 KNO3
f) 2 Al(OH)3 + 3 H2SO4 ® Al2(SO4)3 + 6 H2O
g) 2 CH3NH2 + 9/2 O2 ® 2 CO2 + 5 H2O + N2

8.

c) 4 PH3 (g) + 8 O2 (g) ® 6 H2O (g) + P4O10 (s)

d) Hg(NO3)2 (s) ® HgO (s) + 2 NO2 (g) + ½ O2 (g)


10    a) When a hydrocarbon burns in air, O2 is the reactant involved in addition to the hydrocarbon. For example, when benzene (C6H6) burns, the reaction is:

C6H6 (l) + 15/2 O2 (g) ® 6 CO2 (g) + 3 H2O (g)

b) When metallic sodium reacts with iodine, the reaction is:

Na (s) + ½ I2 (s) ® NaI (s)

The product can be assumed to be a solid since it is an ionic compound (it consists of a metal and a non-metal).


18. The average atomic mass of any element is the weighted average of the naturally occurring isotopes. Therefore, for magnesium:

   (0.7870) (23.98504)

+ (0.1013) (24.98584)

+ (0.1117) (25.98259)

                    24.30955
 

20. Formula weights:
 
c) Mg(OH)2: 58.319 amu

d) (NH2)2CO: 60.055 amu

e) CH3CO2C5H11: 130.184 amu
