Question

12. Complete each of the following word equations for synthesis reactions.

Answer 1

Explanation:

12)

a) Sodium + oxygen = ?

When sodium reacts oxygen its forms sodium oxide as a product.

$4Na(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Na_2O(s)$

b) magnesium + fluorine = ?

When magnesium reacts with fluorine its forms magnesium fluoride as a product.

$Mg(s)+F_2(g)\rightarrow MgF_2(s)$

13)

a) $2HgO(s)\overset{\Delta }\rightarrow 2Hg(l)+O_2(g)$

Decomposition of mercury(II) oxide on heating gives out mercury and oxygen gas.

b)$2H_2O(l)\overset{Electricity}\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)$

The electrolytic decomposition of water gives out hydrogen gas amd oxygen gas.
