Explanation:
1. For each of the following, convert the word equation into a formula equation, BUT do not balance!
a) Barium chlorate → Barium chloride + Oxygen
<u>1. Chemical formulas</u>
Barium chlorate:
- It is a salt: an ionic compound.
- Barium has oxidation state +2
- Chlorate is the ion ClO₃⁻
- Swap the oxidation numbers to write the subscripts: 2 goes to ClO₃ and 1 goes to Ba
- Chemical formula Ba(ClO₃)₂
- It is solid: Ba(ClO₃)₂(s)
Barium chloride:
- It is a salt: an ionic compount
- Barium has oxidation state +2
- Chlorine is in oxidation state -1
- Swap the numbers to write the subscripts: 2 goes to Cl and 1 goes to Ba
- BaCl₂
- It is solid BaCl₂(s)
Oxygen:
- It is a diatomic gas molecule
- O₂(g)
<u />
<u>2. Write the unbalanced molecular equation:</u>
- BaClO₃(s) → BaCl₂(s) + O₂(g)
b) Chlorine + Potassium nitride → Nitrogen + Potassium chloride
<u>1. Chemical formulas</u>
Chlorine:
- It is a diatomic gas molecule
- Cl₂(g)
Potassum nitride
- Potassium has oxidation state +1
- Nitrogen is with oxidation state +3
- Swap the oxidation states
- K₃N
- It is solid: K₃N(s)
Nitrogen:
- It is a diatomic gas
- N₂(g)
Potassium chloride
- It is a salt (ionic compound)
- Potassium has oxidation state +1
- Chlorine is in oxidation state -1
- Swap the oxidation numbers
- KCl
- It is solid: KCl(s)
<u>2. Write the unbalanced molecular equation</u>
<u />
- Cl₂(g) + K₃N(s) → N₂(g) + KCl(s)
c) Sodium nitride + Aluminum bromate → Aluminum nitride + Sodium bromate
<u>1. Chemical formulas</u>
Sodium nitride
- It is a salt (ionic compound)
- Sodium has oxidation state +1
- Nitrogen is with oxidation state -3
- Swap the oxidation numbers
- Na₃N
- It is in aqueous solution
- Na₃N (aq)
Aluminum bromate
- Salt
- Aluminum has oxidation state +3
- Bromate is the ion BrO₃⁻
- Swap the oxidation states
- Al(BrO₃)₃ (aq)
Aluminum nitride
- Both Al and N have oxidation state 3, which simply
- AlN(s). It is not soluble in water.
Sodium bromate
<u>2. Write the unbalanced molecular equation</u>
- Na₃N(aq) + Al(BrO₃)₃(aq) → AlN(s) + Na(BrO₃)₃(aq)

Answer:
a. NH gain a proton
b. NH is a Bronsted-Lowry base because is capable of accepting a proton
Explanation:
Answer:
(a) Covalent bond. NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride)
(b) Ionic bond. LiCl (lithium chloride)
Explanation:
<em>(a) N and F</em>
Nitrogen and fluorine are nonmetals, with high and similar electronegativities, so they form covalent bonds, in which they share pairs of electrons to complete the octet in their valence shell. N has 5 valence electrons so it will form 3 covalent bonds while each Cl has 7 valence electrons so it will form 1 covalent bond. As a result, the empirical formula is NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride).
<em>(b) Li and Cl</em>
Lithium is a metal and Chlorine is a nonmetal. They have different electronegativities so they form an ionic bond, in which Cl gains 1 electron (7 valence e⁻) and Li loses 1 electron (1 valence e⁻). The empirical formula is LiCl (lithium chloride).
