Question

Please explain how to do it as well!

Write a complete, balanced equation for the following reactions:

a) The combustion of C₆H₁₂O (teachers note: You figure out products).

b) Aqueous ferric iron (III) sulfate plus barium hydroxide (teachers note: You figure out the products).

Answer 1

a) C₆H₁₂O + 8.5 O₂ ⇒ 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

b) Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 3 Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ 3 BaSO₄ + 2 Fe(OH)₃

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A combustion is a reaction of a compound with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. The corresponding equation is:

C₆H₁₂O + O₂ ⇒ CO₂ + H₂O

We will start balancing C atoms by multiplying CO₂ by 6 and H atoms by multiplying H₂O by 6.

C₆H₁₂O + O₂ ⇒ 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Then, we get the balanced equation by multiplying O₂ by 8.5.

C₆H₁₂O + 8.5 O₂ ⇒ 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

b) This is a double displacement reaction of the general structure:

Salt 1 + Base 1 = Salt 2 + Base 2

The corresponding equation is:

Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ BaSO₄ + Fe(OH)₃

First, we will balance Fe atoms by multiplying Fe(OH)₃ by 2 and S atoms by multiplying BaSO₄ by 3.

Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ 3 BaSO₄ + 2 Fe(OH)₃

Then, we will get the balanced equation by multiplying Ba(OH)₂ by 3.

Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 3 Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ 3 BaSO₄ + 2 Fe(OH)₃

Answer 2

a.
`\bold{C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)\rightarrow 6CO_(2)+6H_(2)O}`

△H=−72 kcal

The energy required for production of 1.6 g of glucose is [molecular mass of glucose is 180 gm]

b.

`\bold{Fe_(2)(SO_(4))_(3)+3Ba(OH)_(2)\rightarrow 3BaSO_(4)+2Fe(OH)_(3)}`

The iron(III) ions and chloride ions remain aqueous and are spectator ions in a reaction that produces solid barium sulfate.
