Chemical formulae and Chemical Equation Study Sheet

Please answer the following questions. Write the answers into your exercise books.
Q1 Use the essential ions sheet to work out the formulae of the following
Sodium
bromide
Lithium
fluoride
Ammonium
carbonate

Potassium
Iron(II)
hydrogencarbonate sulphate
Silver oxide
Chromium
hydroxide
Lithium hydroxide
Barium oxide

Aluminium
nitrate
Magnesium
carbonate
Iron(III)
sulphide

Hydrogen
hydroxide
Hydrogen
sulphate
Chromium
sulphate

Q2. A balanced chemical equation can be written in four steps.

1. Write the reaction in words,
2. Change the chemical names into their correct symbols and formulae.
3. Include the physical states and
4. finally balance.
The following questions relate to these four steps.
a. What symbols should we use to describe the physical states?
b. Chemists and other scientists always balance chemical equations. Please explain why
this is so important. (Hint, refer to the law of conservation of mass)
PART B, read the following statements and write balanced chemical equations. The first has
been completed as an example
Example grey sodium metal was added to colourless water. The metal reacts sizzling on the
surface. It dissolves producing sodium hydroxide and it produces some hydrogen gas
Sodium + water = sodium hydroxide + hydrogen
Na + H20 = NaOH + H2
Na(s) + H20 (l) = NaOH (aq) + H2 (g).
2Na(s) + 2H2O (l) = 2NaOH (aq) + H2 (g)
Try these:
1. Some grey magnesium ribbon was added to colourless dilute hydrochloric acid. The
metal dissolves producing magnesium chloride and produces some hydrogen gas.

2. Some zinc metal is added to copper(11) sulphate solution. The zinc becomes coated with
copper and colourless zinc sulphate solution is produced.

3. Some colourless hydrogen gas is mixed with colourless oxygen gas. The mixture is
sparked and it explodes producing steam which condenses to liquid water.

4. Magnesium ribbon is burnt in carbon dioxide gas. It burns splattering as it goes. Black
carbon is produced and some magnesium oxide solid.

metal dissolves producing magnesium chloride and produces some hydrogen gas.
