Question

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs

when:
(a) titanium metal reacts with O21g2;
(b) silver(I) oxide decomposes into silver metal and oxygen gas when heated;
(c) propanol, C3H7OH1l2 burns in air;
(d) methyl tert-butyl ether, C5H12O1l2, burns in air.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A balanced chemical equation refers to the reaction taking place whereby the number of atoms associated in the reactants side is equivalent to the number of atoms on the products side.

From the given information, the balanced equations are as follows:

`\mathbf{(a) \ \ \ Ti(s) + O_(2(g)) \to TiO_(2(s))}`

`\mathbf{(b) \ \ \ 2Ag_(2)O \to 4Ag_((s)) + O_(2(g))}`

`\mathbf{(c) \ \ \ 2C_3H_7OH + 9O_2 \to 6CO_2+8H_2O}`

`\mathbf{(d) \ \ \ 2C_5 H_(12)O \to 10 CO_2 + 12 H_2O}`
