Predict the products of each reaction.(a) HClO4(aq) + Fe2O3(s)?(b) H2SO4(aq) + Sr(s)

Problem 45P

Predict the products of each reaction.

(a) HClO4(aq) + Fe2O3(s)→

(b) H2SO4(aq) + Sr(s) →

(c) H3PO4 (aq) + KOH(aq) →

Solution: Here, we are going to predict the products of the given reactions.

Step1:

1. HClO4(aq) + Fe2O3(s) →

6HClO4(aq) + Fe2O3(s) → 2Fe(ClO4)3(aq) + 3H2O

Thus, products of the reaction are iron perchlorate and water.

      b)        H2SO4(aq) + Sr(s) →

H2SO4(aq) + Sr(s) → SrSO4(aq) + H2(g)

Thus, products of the reaction are strontium sulfate and dihydrogen.

     c)        H3PO4(aq) + KOH(aq) →

H3PO4(aq) + 3KOH(aq) → K3PO4(aq) + 3H2O

Thus, products of the reaction are potassium orthophosphate and water.
