Chemical Equations and Reactions

Chemical reactions are symbolically depicted through chemical equations, where the transformation of reactants into products is illustrated. Elements are denoted by symbols, while the quantity is represented by numbers. To conserve mass, these equations need to be balanced. Various types of reactions exist, such as synthesis, decomposition, displacement, and combustion. These reactions can either release or absorb energy, resulting in the formation of new compounds.

Chemistry B Mrs. Frost Oxidation-Reduction Homework Packet 12. Use the changes in oxidation numbers to identify which atoms are oxidized and which are reduced in each reaction. A. \[ 2 \mathrm{Na}_{(s)}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NaCl}_{(s)} \] Oxidized Reduced B. \[ 2 \mathrm{HNO}_{3(a q)}+6 \mathrm{HI}_{(a q)} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NO}_{(g)}+3 \mathrm{I}_{2(s)}+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\ell)} \] Oxidized Reduced C. \[ 3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S}_{(g)}+2 \mathrm{HNO}_{3(a q)} \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{~S}_{(s)}+2 \mathrm{NO}_{(g)}+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\hbar)} \] Oxidized Reduced D. \[ 2 \mathrm{PbSO}_{4(s)}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(l)} \rightarrow \mathrm{Pb}_{(s)}+\mathrm{PbO}_{2(s)}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4(a q)} \] Oxidized Reduced 13. For each reaction in Problem $\#$, identify the reducing agent and the oxidizing agent. A. \[ 2 \mathrm{Na}_{(s)}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NaCl}_{(s)} \] Oxidizing Agent Reducing Agent B. \[ 2 \mathrm{HNO}_{3(a q)}+6 \mathrm{HI}_{(a q)} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NO}_{(g)}+3 \mathrm{I}_{2(s)}+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(l)} \] Oxidizing Agent Reducing Agent C. \[ 3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S}_{(g)}+2 \mathrm{HNO}_{3(a q)} \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{~S}_{(s)}+2 \mathrm{NO}_{(g)}+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(t)} \] Oxidizing Agent Reducing Agent D. \[ 2 \mathrm{PbSO}_{4(s)}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\hbar)} \rightarrow \mathrm{Pb}_{(s)}+\mathrm{PbO}_{2(s)}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4(a q)} \] Oxidizing Agent Reducing Agent
