With which of the listed substances will hydrochloric acid react?
With which of the listed substances will hydrochloric acid react? Write down the equations of the corresponding reactions. Pt, Fe, MgO, NaCl, KO
Let’s write down the reaction equations.
HCl + Pt – the reaction does not proceed, since platinum is not an active metal and is after hydrogen in the row of metal activity.
HCl + Fe = FeCl2 + H2
Let’s arrange the coefficients:
2HCl + Fe = FeCl2 + H2 – the reaction refers to substitution reactions.
HCl + MgO = MgCl2 + H2O
Let’s arrange the coefficients:
2HCl + MgO = MgCl2 + H2O – the reaction refers to exchange reactions, it proceeds to the end, as water is formed.
HCl + NaCl – the reaction does not proceed.
HCl + K2O = KCl + H2O
Let’s arrange the coefficients:
2HCl + K2O = 2KCl + H2O – the reaction refers to exchange reactions, it proceeds to the end, as water is formed
