Question

Predict the products from theses reaction, and balance the equations. Include phase symbols.

Reaction : K(s)+Cl2(g)⟶
Reaction :Cu(s)+O2(g)⟶

Answer 1

Answer:

2 K(s) + Cl₂(g) ⟶ 2 KCl(s)

2 Cu(s) + O₂(g) ⟶ 2 CuO(s)

Explanation:

Both reactions are synthesis reactions (two substances combine to form another).

Reaction: K(s) + Cl₂(g) ⟶

The product is the binary salt KCl. The balanced chemical equation is:

2 K(s) + Cl₂(g) ⟶ 2 KCl(s)

Reaction: Cu(s) + O₂(g) ⟶

The most likely product is the metal oxide CuO. The balanced chemical equation is:

2 Cu(s) + O₂(g) ⟶ 2 CuO(s)
