Balance each of these reactions and indicate the type of reaction each equation represents: a) NH3 → N2 + H2 b) Ba(C2H3O2)2 + Na3PO4 → Ba3(PO4)2 + NaC2H3O2 c) Zn + HCl → ZnCl2 + H2 d) Hg + O2 → HgO



Answer :

Answer:

Explanation:

Here, we want to balance the chemical equation and state the type of chemical reaction

In balancing the chemical equation, we have to ensure that the number of atoms we have on the left hand side is same as what we have on the right hand side

We have this as:

[tex]3Ba(C_2H_3O_2)_2+2Na_3PO_4\text{ }\rightarrow Ba_3(PO_4)_2+6NaC_2H_3O_2[/tex]

To get the type of reaction, we can see that there is an exchange of ionic groups between the individual metallic ions

This type of reaction is called a double displacement reaction
