Predict the missing component of each reaction
? + 2NaBr → 2NaCl+Br
o HCI
o CI)
O Na
Mg+? → MgO+H2
• Mg(OH)2
O O₂
o H2O

Answer 1

Missing component

Cl₂

H₂O

Step-by-step explanation:

Reaction given:

? + 2NaBr → 2NaCl+Br

Mg+? → MgO+H2

missing component = ?

Solution:

Reaction 1

? + 2NaBr -----→ 2NaCl + Br

if we look at the reactants and products there is one element is in product side but not shown in the reactant side.

In products there are following atoms

Na (Sodium)

Cl (Chlorine)

Br (Bromine)

In Reactant there are following atoms

Na (Sodium)

Br (Bromine)

So only Chlorine is missing in the reactant side.

if we put chlorine in the reactant then this reaction will be complete

Cl + 2 NaBr -----→ 2NaCl + Br

So chlorine react with water and give sodium chloride and bromine molecule, this is a single displacement reaction and chlorine replace bromine in the above reaction

Now balance the equation

Cl₂ + 2 NaBr -----→ 2NaCl + Br₂

So, the missing component is

• Cl₂

____________

Reaction 2

Mg + ? ---------→ MgO + H₂

if we look at the reactants and products there are two element in product side but not shown in the reactant side.

In products there are following atoms

Mg (Magnesium)

O (Oxygen)

H (Hydrogen)

In Reactant there is only one following atom

Mg (Magnesium)

So Oxygen and Hydrogen is missing in the reactant side.

if we put water molecule (H₂O) in the reactant then this reaction will be complete

Mg + H₂O ---------→ MgO + H₂

in this reaction magnesium (Mg) react with water (H₂O) and give magnesium oxide and hydrogen gas.

So, the missing component is

• H₂O
