Question

Write the skeleton equation for the following reactions. You must put in states of matter BUT you do NOT have to balance it.

Gaseous tricarbon octahydride reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor

A solution of aluminum sulfate reacts with solid barium to form aluminum and a solution of barium sulfate.

A solution of ammonium nitrate decomposes to produce nitrogen gas, oxygen gas, and water.

Gaseous selenium hexachloride reacts with oxygen gas to produce selenium dioxide solid and chlorine gas.

Answer 1

The skeleton equations for the described reactions are provided with appropriate chemical formulas and states of matter, without the equations being balanced.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the skeleton equations for the given reactions, we'll express each reactant and product with its appropriate chemical formula and physical state. Here are the reactions as described:

1. Gaseous tricarbon octahydride (C₃H₈) reacts with oxygen gas (O₂) to produce carbon dioxide gas (CO₂) and water vapor (H₂O).
   C₃H₈(g) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)
2. A solution of aluminum sulfate (Al₂(SO₄)₃) reacts with solid barium (Ba) to form aluminum (Al) and a solution of barium sulfate (BaSO₄).
   Al₂(SO₄)₃(aq) + Ba(s) → Al(s) + BaSO₄(aq)
3. A solution of ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) decomposes to produce nitrogen gas (N₂), oxygen gas (O₂), and water (H₂O).
   NH₄NO₃(aq) → N₂(g) + O₂(g) + H₂O(l)
4. Gaseous selenium hexachloride (SeCl₆) reacts with oxygen gas (O₂) to produce selenium dioxide solid (SeO₂) and chlorine gas (Cl₂).
   SeCl₆(g) + O₂(g) → SeO₂(s) + Cl₂(g)
