Question

Write a complete, balanced equation for the following reactions:

c) Magnesium metal plus silver acetate (teachers note: You figure out the products):

d) hydrobromic acid plus zinc metal (teachers note: You figure out products):

Answer 1

#C

Magnesium metal displaces silver from silver acetate to form Magnesium Acetate and silver

Balanced equation

`\sf Mg+Ag(CH_3COO)\longrightarrow Mg(CH3COO)+Ag^+`

#D

They form Zinc bromide and hydrogen gas

`\sf 2HBr+Zn\longrightarrow ZnBr_2+H_2`

Answer 2

Solution given:

c) Magnesium metal plus silver acetate (teachers note:

Balanced chemical equation:

`\boxed{\bold{\green{Mg+AgC_(2)H_(3)O_(2)\rightarrow MgC_(3)H_(3)O_(2)+Ag^(+)}}}`

d) hydrobromic acid plus zinc metal (teachers note:

Balanced chemical equation:

`\boxed{\bold{\green{2HBr+Zn \rightarrow Be_(2)+H_(2)}}}`
