Predict the product(s) that would form from the reaction of the following reactants

Question

a) Zn(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq) = blank + blank

b) 2Na(s) + Cl2(g) = blank

c) Ba(OH)2(aq) + 2HCl(aq) = blank + blank

Answer 1

a) This is a single replacement reaction where Zn will take the place of Cu in one of the products.

Zn (s) + Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) → Zn(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Cu (s)

b) This is a combination reaction where 2 or more elements combine to form one compound.

2 Na (s) + Cl₂ (g) → 2 NaCl (s)

c) This is a neutralization reaction where a base, Ba(OH)₂, reacts with an acid, HCl, to form salt and water as the products.

Ba(OH)₂ (aq) + 2 HCl (aq) → BaCl₂ (aq) + 2 H₂O (l)
