Sodium chloride reacts with silver nitrate to produce silver chloride and sodium nitrate

  1. Write the equation.
  2. Check whether it is balanced, if not balance it.
  3. Find the weights of reactants and products.
  4. State the law which this equation satisfies. 

Solution

  1. NaCl+ AgNO3 → NaNO3 + AgCl↓
  2. It is a balanced equation.

    3. c. Weights of reactants:NaCl - 58.44, AgNO3 - 169.87 

        Weights of products: NaNO3 - 84.99, AgCl - 143.32

        NaCl + AgNO3 → NaNO3  + AgCl

        (23+35.5) + (108+14+48) → (23+14+48) + (108+35.5)

        58.5 + 170 → 85 + 143.5

        228.5 g → 228.5 g

     

    d. Law of conservation of mass: Matter is neither created nor destroyed in the course of a chemical reaction.

What information does the following chemical equation convey?

Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4+ H2

Solution

This equation conveys the following information:

 

  1. The actual result of a chemical change.
  2. Substances take part in a reaction, and substances are formed as a result of the reaction.
  3. Here, one molecule of zinc and one molecule of sulphuric acid react to give one molecule of zinc sulphate and one molecule of hydrogen.
  4. Composition of respective molecules, i.e. one molecule of sulphuric acid contains two atoms of hydrogen, one atom of sulphur and four atoms of oxygen.
  5. Relative molecular masses of different substances, i.e. molecular mass of

Zn = 65

H2SO4 = (2+32+64) = 98

ZnSO4 = (65+32+64) = 161  

H2 = 2

6. 22.4 litres of hydrogen are formed at STP.
