Question

Write the chemical reaction described in the question as a word equation.

A. Solid Calcium chloride + Aqueous barium carbonate → Solid calcium carbide + Solution of barium chlorate + Oxygen gas
B. Calcium chloride + Barium carbonate → Calcium carbide + Barium chlorate + Oxygen
C. CaCl₂ + BaCO₃ → CaC₂ + Ba(ClO₃)₂ + O₂
D. Solid CaCl₂ + Aqueous BaCO₃ → Solid CaC₂ + Aqueous Ba(ClO₃)₂ + O₂

Answer 1

The reaction of solid sodium chloride with aqueous sulfuric acid producing hydrogen chloride gas and aqueous sodium sulfate is represented both as a shorthand chemical equation and a word equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets look at one of the balanced chemical equations provided:

When sodium chloride (NaCl) is added to aqueous sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), it produces hydrogen chloride gas (HCl(g)) and sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄). The shorthand, or skeletal, equation for this reaction is:

NaCl(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → HCl(g) + Na₂SO₄(aq)

The word equation for this reaction would be:

Solid sodium chloride + Aqueous sulfuric acid → Hydrogen chloride gas + Aqueous sodium sulfate
