Chemistry; How Do I Do These?
4 Answers
How in the hell do I do these?
1. Balance the equation for the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid.
Zn + HCl ZnCl2 + H2
2. Balance the equation for the reaction between iron (steel wool) and oxygen (water).
Fe + O2 Fe2O3
3. Balance the equation for the reaction of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of catalase.
H2O2 H2O + O2
4. Balance the equations below for the reaction of acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate
NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 NaC2H3O2 + H2CO3
H2CO3 H2O + CO2
NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2

Homework questions?
First one shows the way. On the left side you have the inputs: zinc and hydrochloric acid.
On the right side, the outputs: Zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.
The challenge is to find the right nubers pf atoms that can satisfy each side.
Hydrogen gas (on the right) needs two atoms: H2
So you need two atoms of hydrogen on the left:
Zn + 2HCl = ZnCl2 + H2
The number of atoms on each side of the equation is balanced.
The next one is iron rusting
2Fe + O2 = Fe2O3 doesn't work, because the oxygens do not match on left and right.
So we have to modify it thus:
4Fe + 3O2 = 2Fe2O3 (4 atoms of Fe; 6 of oxygen on each side)
Up to you to solve the rest :)
