Which observation is consistent with a
a Solid copper deposits on a piece of aluminum foil when the foil is placed in a blue copper nitrate solution. The blue color of the solution fades.
b Liquid ethyl alcohol turns into a solid when placed in a low-temperature freezer.
c A white precipitate forms when solutions of barium nitrate and sodium sulfate are mixed.
d A mixture of sugar and water bubbles when yeasts are added. After several days, the sugar is gone and ethyl alcohol is found in the water.

- list at least three quantities that must be conserved in chemical reactions.arrow_forwardA common experiment to determine the relative reactivity of metallic elements is to place a pure sample of one metal into an aqueous solution of a compound of another metallic element. If the pure metal you are adding is more reactive than the metallic element in the compound, then the pure metal willreplacethe metallic element in the compound. For example. if you place a piece of pure zinc metal into a solution of copper(II) sulfate, the zinc will slowly dissolve to produce zinc sulfate solution, and the copper(II) ion of the copper(II) sulfate will be converted to metallic copper. Write the unbalanced equation for this process.arrow_forwardYou have probably had the unpleasant experience of discovering that a flashlight battery has gotten old and begun to leak. Is there evidence that this change is due to a chemical reaction?arrow_forward
- The element tin often occurs in nature as the oxide, SnO2 . To produce pure tin metal from this sort of tin ore, the ore usually is heated with coal (carbon). This produces pure molten tin, with the carbon being removed from the reaction system as the gaseous byproduct carbon monoxide. Write the unbalanced equation for this process.arrow_forwardNickel(II) sulfide, NiS, occurs naturally as the relatively rare mineral millerite. One of its occurrences is in meteorites. To analyze a mineral sample for the quantity of NiS, the sample is dissolved in nitric add to form a solution of Ni(NO3)2. NiS(s) + 4 HNO3(aq) Ni(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NO2(g) + 2 H2O(l) + S(s) The aqueous solution of Ni(NO3)2 is then reacted with the organic compound dimethylglyoxime (C4H8N2O2) to give the red solid Ni((C4H7N2O2)2. Ni(NO3)2(aq) + 2 (C4H8N2O2)(aq) Ni(C4H7N2O2)2 + 2 HNO3(aq) Suppose a 0.468-g sample containing millerite produces 0.206 g of red, solid Ni(C4H7N2O2)2 What is the mass percent of NiS in the sample?arrow_forwardThe flasks below illustrated three trials of a reaction between varying amounts of zinc and a constant volume of hydrochloric acid solution of constant concentration. The table gives the initial amount of zinc added and the observation at the conclusion of each reaction. Mass of Zinc Added g Observation at Conclusion of Reaction 6.10 Balloon inflated completely Some unreacted zinc remains 2.37 Balloon inflated completely No zinc remains 0.41 Balloon not inflated completely No zinc remains The reaction produces an aqueous solution of zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Explain the observed results.arrow_forward
- If you’ve ever left bread in a toaster too long, you know that the bread eventually burns and turns black. What evidence is there that this represents a chemical process?arrow_forwardComplete the missing information in the following skeletion equation and balance the chemical equation: NaOH(aq)+3NaCl(aq)+Al(OH)3(aq)arrow_forwardWhat is a combustion reaction? Are combustion reactions a unique type of reaction, or are they a special case of a more general type of reaction? Write an equation that illustrates a combustion reaction.arrow_forward
