Types of Chemical Reactions: Can You Write the Condensed Word Equation?

In summary, these questions are about chemical equations. A, B, and G are about redox reactions. C, D, and E are about precipitation. F is about a redox reaction. G is about a mistake.

Hello, I just need some help on these questions and some explaining.

I need help writing the condensed word equation for these chemical equations:


A)[tex] Li + Hg(ClO)_2 \xrightarrow~Hg + LiClO[/tex]
Maybe: Lithium + Mercury(II) Chlorine oxide ------> Lithium Carbonate

B)[tex] C_8H_1_8 + O_2 \xrightarrow~CO_2 + H_2O[/tex]
Maybe: Hydrocarbon + oxygen ------> Carbonate + Water

C)[tex] KOH + FeCl_3 \xrightarrow~KCI + Fe(OH)_3[/tex]
Maybe: Potassium Hydroxide + Iron Chlorate ------> Iron (III) Hydroxide

D)[tex] Au + O_2 \xrightarrow~Au_2O[/tex]
Maybe: Gold + Oxygen ------> Gold oxide

E)[tex] KCI\xrightarrow~K + Cl_2[/tex]
Maybe: Potassium Carbon Iodine ------> Chlorine

F)[tex] Ni + Cl_2 \xrightarrow~NiCl_3[/tex]
Maybe: Nitrogen + Chlorine ------> Nitrogen Chloride

G)[tex] Sr(IO_3)_2 \xrightarrow~SrI_2 + O_2[/tex]
Maybe: Strontium(II) Iodate ----> Strontium Diodite

And also, how would you write this out into a chemical equation:

A solution of carbonate and hydrogen hydroxide are produced when limewater reacts with your breath.

[tex]\xrightarrow~[/tex]


Thanks :smile:

A: redox reaction; B: total combustion; C: precipitation; D: oxidation; E: electrolysis; and F: redox reaction.

Our breath contains carbon dioxide; and this gives calcium carbonate precipitate when it reacts with lime water (Ca(OH)2).

What about the word equations, did I do them right?
by the way, I know only three of them ; synthesis, decomposition and combustion. This is for grade 11 chemistry.

Your nomenclature contains some serious error, unfortunately. You need to study about chemical nomenclature rules a bit more intensely.

First: ClO- anion is "hypochlorite".
Second: The hydrocarbon is octane, but you may generalize it by writing like CnH2n+2.
Third: FeCl3 is read as "iron chloride".
Fourth: It is okay, but since gold contains 1+ and 3+ charges, it would be better to include its oxidation state by saying "gold(I) oxide"; but the one you wrote is not wrong at all.
Fifth: "Potassium carbon iodide" is a mistake; this one should be "potassium chloride". Moreover, this is not a nuclear reaction in which you convert iodine to chlorine :smile:
Sixth: Ni is the symbol for nickel metal, not nitrogen, which is shown with N.

Thank You very much.
This whole thing is confusing to me.
And is that all the mistake?

Related to Types of Chemical Reactions: Can You Write the Condensed Word Equation?

What are the five main types of chemical reactions?

The five main types of chemical reactions are synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, and combustion.

What is a synthesis reaction?

A synthesis reaction is when two or more reactants combine to form a single product. It is also known as a combination reaction.

What is a decomposition reaction?

A decomposition reaction is when a single reactant breaks down into two or more products. It is also known as a breakdown reaction.

What is a single displacement reaction?

A single displacement reaction is when one element replaces another element in a compound. It is also known as a substitution reaction.

What is a double displacement reaction?

A double displacement reaction is when the cations and anions of two ionic compounds switch places, resulting in the formation of two new compounds. It is also known as a metathesis reaction.
