Q10 of 29 Page 73

Write the chemical equations for the following activities.

A. NaOH solution was added to HCl solution.


B. Zinc dust was added to dilute


C. Dilute nitric acid was added to calcium oxide.


D. Carbon dioxide gas was passed through KOH solution.


E. Dilute HCl was poured on baking soda.

A. When NaOH solution was added to HCl solution, it forms sodium chloride and liberated hydrogen gas.


HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2


B. When zinc dust was added to dilute H2SO4, it forms zinc sulphate and liberated hydrogen gas.


H2SO4 + Zn ZnSO4 + H2


C. When dilute nitric acid was added to calcium oxide, it forms calcium nitrate and water.


2HNO3 + CaO Ca(NO3)2 + H2O


D. When carbon dioxide gas was passed through KOH solution; it was completely absorbed by KOH.


CO2 + KOH KHCO3


E. When dilute HCl was poured on baking soda (NaHCO3), it forms a salt NaCl, water and releases bubbles of carbon dioxide.


NaHCO3 + HCl NaCl + H2O+ CO2


The above reaction is an example of neutralization reaction.
