In what cases are the substances taken in pairs, the formulas of which are given below, enter into exchange reactions that go to the end: a) Ca and H2O; b) KOH and FeCl3; c) NaCl and KNO3; d) MgO and H2SO4. Write molecular, complete and concise ionic reaction equations. Please explain.
Answer: b; d.
Exchange reactions are reactions between complex substances, as a result of which their constituent parts are exchanged.
Exchange reactions go to the end in those cases when either gas, or water, or a precipitate is formed.
The reactions will go to the end between potassium hydroxide and iron (III) chloride – (under the letter b).
As a result of the reaction, iron (III) hydroxide is formed.
Under the letter d: the reaction between magnesium oxide and sulfuric acid goes to the end, since water is formed as a result of the reaction.
a) the reaction between calcium and water is a substitution reaction, since it occurs between a simple and a complex substance.
c) the reaction between sodium chloride and potassium nitrate is reversible, neither gas, nor water, nor precipitate is formed.
