QUESTION: Problem 71P
Predict the product(s) and write a balanced equation for each of the following redox reactions:
(a) Pentane (C5H12) + oxygen →
(b) Phosphorus trichloride + chlorine →
(c) Zinc + hydrobromic acid →
(d) Aqueous potassium iodide + bromine →
(e) Write a balanced net ionic equation for (d).
ANSWER:
Solution 71P:
Here, we are going to predict the products of the balanced equation.
Step 1:
(a) Pentane (C5H12) + oxygen →
The balanced equation for the reaction (a) is
It is a Combustion reaction, in which pentane reacts with O2 to form CO2(g) and H2O(l).
