CONCEPTUAL EXERCISES

As we have seen, two substances may react to form different
products when they are mixed in different proportions under
different conditions. In Exercises 121 and 122, write balanced
equations for the reactions described by words. Assign oxidation
numbers.
121.(a) Ethane burns in excess air to form carbon dioxide and
water.
(b) Ethane burns in a limited amount of air to form car-
bon monoxide and water.
(c) Ethane burns (poorly) in a very limited amount of air
to form elemental carbon and water.
122.(a) Butane (C 4 H 10 ) burns in excess air to form carbon
dioxide and water.
(b) Butane burns in a limited amount of air to form car-
bon monoxide and water.
(c) When heated in the presence of very littleair, butane
“cracks” to form acetylene, C 2 H 2 , carbon monoxide,
and hydrogen.
123.Use the general metallic trend of the periodic table to pre-
dict which element in each of the following pairs is more


  1. NH 4


A. Cl B. OH
Omit –
see note

C. SO 42  D. PO 43  E. NO 3 



  1. Na
    3. Mg^2 
    4. Ni^2 
    5. Fe^3 
    6. Ag


NOTE: The compound NH 4 OH does not exist. The solution
commonly labeled “NH 4 OH” is aqueous ammonia, NH 3 (aq).
