7.66 Write balanced equations for the following reactions: (a) potassium oxide with water, (b) diphosphorus trioxide with water, (c) chromium(III) oxide with dilute hydrochloric acid, (d) selenium dioxide with aqueous potassium hydroxide

Respuesta :

The balanced chemical equations for the reactions are

(a) K₂O + H₂O  → 2KOH

(b) P₂O₃ + 3H₂O → 2H₃PO₃

(c) Cr₂O₃ + 6HCl → 2CrCl₃ + 3H₂O

(d) SeO₂ + 2KOH → K₂SeO₃ + H₂O

From the question

We are to write a balanced equations for the given reactions

  • For (a)

The reaction between potassium oxide and water gives potassium hydroxide

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between potassium oxide and water is

K₂O + H₂O  → 2KOH

  • For (b)

The reaction between diphosphorus trioxide with water gives phosphorous acid

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between diphosphorus trioxide with water is

P₂O₃ + 3H₂O → 2H₃PO₃

  • For (c)

The reaction between chromium(III) oxide with dilute hydrochloric acid produces chromium(II) chloride and water

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between chromium(III) oxide with dilute hydrochloric acid is

Cr₂O₃ + 6HCl → 2CrCl₃ + 3H₂O

  • For (d)

The reaction between selenium dioxide with aqueous potassium hydroxide gives potassium selenite and water

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between selenium dioxide with aqueous potassium hydroxide

SeO₂ + 2KOH → K₂SeO₃ + H₂O

Hence, the balanced chemical equations for the reactions are

(a) K₂O + H₂O  → 2KOH

(b) P₂O₃ + 3H₂O → 2H₃PO₃

(c) Cr₂O₃ + 6HCl → 2CrCl₃ + 3H₂O

(d) SeO₂ + 2KOH → K₂SeO₃ + H₂O

A balanced reaction equation contains the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction equation.

To write a balanced chemical reaction equation, the number of atoms of each element on the right hand side must be the same as the number of atoms of the same element on the left hand side.

  • For the reaction between potassium oxide with water; K2O + H2O ----> 2KOH
  • For reaction between diphosphorus trioxide with water; P2O5 + 3 H2O → 2 H3PO4
  • For the reaction between chromium(III) oxide with dilute hydrochloric acid; Cr2O3 + 6 HCl → 2 CrCl3 + 3 H2O
  • For the reaction between selenium dioxide with aqueous potassium hydroxide;  SeO2 + 2KOH ------>  K2SeO3 + H2O
