Question

Write the proper word equation to express the following chemical reaction: 3Li (s) + AuCl3 (aq) Imported Asset 3LiCl (aq) + Au (s).

Answer 1

Answer: The word equation for the given chemical equation is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Word equation is defined as the equation in which substances are written in word form and not in chemical formulas. The words "and" or "plus" means that one substance and another substance are both reactants or products.

For the given chemical equation:

`3Li(s)+AuCl_3(aq.)\rightarrow 3LiCl(aq.)+Au(s)`

The word equation for this follows:

`3\text{(Lithium)}(s)+\text{Auric chloride}(aq.)\rightarrow 3\text{(Lithium chloride)}(aq.)+\text{Gold}(s)`

Here, 3 moles of lithium reacts with 1 mole of auric chloride to produce 2 moles of lithium chloride and 1 mole of gold.

Hence, the word equation for the given chemical equation is given above.

Answer 2

The given equation above is an example of a single-replacement reaction wherein one element replacement another that is part of a given compound. This reaction happens when the reactivity of the free element is higher compared to that of the element being replaced.
3Li (s) + AuCl3 (aq) --> 3LiCl (aq) + Au (s)
