True or False

6. __F__ When aluminum (Al) combines with a dichromate ion (Cr2O7) you get AlCr2O7
7. __F__ A Single displacement reaction moves an strong active metal to be by itself
8. __T__ 6 KCl + Be3(PO4)2  2 K3PO4 + 3 BeCl2 is a balanced equation

Short Answer

11. Write and balance the equation when copper (II) chloride reacts with potassium nitrate to
produce copper (II) nitrate and potassium chloride.

Unbalanced: CuCl2 + KNO3  Cu(NO3)2 + KCl

Balanced: 2 CuCl2 + 2 KNO3  Cu(NO3)2 + 2 KCl

12. Write a balanced equation for the decomposition of iron (II) hydroxide into an iron ion and
water.

Unbalanced: Fe(OH)2  Fe + H2O

Balanced: 2 Fe(OH)2  2 Fe + H2O

13. Give an example of a double displacement reaction using 2 of the following and balance it: CaCl,
Sn(NH4)2, Al(C2H3O2)3, BeF2

** has multiple answers. Here are two.

CaCl + Sn(NH4)2  CaNH4 + SnCl2

2 Al(C2H3O2)3 + 3 BeF2  2 AlF3 + 3 Be(C2H3O2)2

14. State one similarity and one difference between exothermic and endothermic reactions

Similarity  both have to do with energy as a result of a reaction taking place

Difference  endothermic reactions is the absorption of energy when a reaction takes place while
exothermic is the release of energy into the surroundings from the reaction.

Balance the equations:

15. HNO3 + NaHCO3  NaNO3 + H2O + CO2

Kristina De Dieu

16. 2 Mg + O2  2 MgO

17. H3PO4 +3 KOH  K3PO4 + 3 H2O

18. 2 AlCl3 + 3 Be(MnO4)2  2 Al(MnO4)3 + 3 BeCl2

19. 2 Fe + 3 Cl2  2 FeCl3

20. Ni2(CO2)3 + 3 KOH  2 Ni(OH)3 + 3 KCO2
