    CHEMICAL EQUATIONS
    Pre-Lab Questions

    1. Complete the following “word equation” describing the products of an acid-base neutralization reaction:

    Acid + Base → salt + water

    2. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between sulfuric acid and aqueous potassium hydroxide.

    H2SO4 (aq) + 2KOH (aq)→ K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

    3. Complete the following “word equation” describing the burning in air of a hydrocarbon:

    Hydrocarbon + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide +Water

    4. Write a balanced chemical equation for the burning in air of ethane, C2H6.

    2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) → 4CO2 (aq) + H2O (aq)

    5. Predict the products and write a balanced chemical equation for the double displacement reaction between

    aqueous lithium sulfate, Li2SO4 and aqueous lead (II) nitrate, Pb(NO3)2. Remember to include state symbols to

    show when a precipitate forms. Tip: When sulfate pairs with lead(II), the resulting compound is insoluble.

    Li2SO4(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) → PbSO4(S) + 2LiNO3(aq)

    Worksheet

    Instructions for completing the lab worksheet

    In today’s lab you will practice writing and balancing chemical equations. In Section
    A, you are given the skeletal equation and asked to balance it. In Section B, you are
    given the formulas of the reactants and must predict the products of the reaction and
    balance the equation. In Section C, you must determine the correct formulas of both
    the reactants and products and then balance the equation.
    Remember:

     When writing a chemical equation, it is NEVER okay to change a correct formula,


    add or subtract a substance just to make the equation balance.
     All you may do to balance an equation is add coefficients.
     Do not try to balance an equation until you have determined the correct formulas of

    the reactants and products.

     Refer to the solubility rules (Table 2) to predict whether a precipitate will


    form during double displacement reactions. Use state symbols to show if
    a precipitate formed.
