1. Balance the following chemical reactions:
a. 2 CaO(s) + 5 C(s) ® 2 CaC2(s) + 1 CO2(g)
b. 4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g) ® 4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g)
c. 1 C8H8(l) + 10 O2(g) ® 8 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(g)
d. 1 NaHCO3(s) + 1 C2H4O2(aq) ® 1 NaC2H3O2(aq) + 1 CO2(g) + 1 H2O(l)
2. Write balanced chemical equations, including states-of-matter, for the following
reactions:
a. Dinitrogen pentoxide gas reacts with sodium metal to produce solid sodium
nitrate and gaseous nitrogen dioxide.
N2O5(g) + Na(s) ® NaNO3(s) + NO2(g)
b. A mixture of nitric acid and nitrous acid is formed when water reacts with
dinitrogen tetroxide gas.
N2O4(g) + H2O(l) ® HNO3(aq) + HNO2(aq)
c. Potassium reacts with water to give hydrogen and aqueous potassium hydroxide.
2 K(s) + 2 H2O(l) ® H2(g) + 2 KOH(aq)
d. Carbon dioxide reacts with carbon to form carbon monoxide.
CO2(g) + C(s) ® 2 CO(g)
3. Iron(III) oxide reacts with carbon monoxide to form iron metal and carbon dioxide
gas:
1 Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) ® 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g)
In a certain experiment, 5.0 g of iron(III) oxide is reacted with 5.0 g of carbon
monoxide gas.
a. What mass of iron will be produced, assuming a complete reaction? What is the
limiting reactant?
Assume excess CO:
5.0 g Fe ( 2O3 ) 1 mol Fe2O3
159.7 g Fe2O3

Limiting Reactant: Fe2O3
b. What mass of carbon dioxide will be produced (the theoretical yield), assuming a
complete reaction?
We know that Fe2O3 is the limiting reactant, so it will determine the amount of CO
formed:
5.0 g Fe ( 2O3 ) 1 mol Fe2O3
159.7 g Fe2O3
⎛
