Q. 7.90 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

If purple sphere represents the Iodine atoms and blue sphere represents the nitrogen atoms and reacting molecules are gases and products are solid.

1. Write the formula for each of the reactants and products.     
2. Write the balanced equation.
3. Indicate the type of reaction as combination, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, or combustion.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

(a) The Reactants of reaction are$I_2,N_2$ and Products is $N{I}_3$

(b) The balanced chemical equation is $6I_2 + 2N_2 \to 4N{I}_3$

(c) This is combination reaction.

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

We need to find the reactants and products of reaction.

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

We are given that purple sphere represents the Iodine atoms and blue sphere represents the nitrogen atoms  .

Therefore.

Reactants of reaction are $I_2 , N_2$

Products of reaction is$N{I}_3$.

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

We need to write the balanced chemical equation 

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

We are given that 

Reactants of reaction are $I_{2,}{N}_2$

Products of reaction is. $N{I}_3$

Then balanced chemical equation is:

$6I_2 + 2N_2 \to 4N{I}_3$

Part (c) Step 1: Given Information

We need to find the type of reaction.

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

If we see the reaction $6I_2 + 2N_2 \to 4N{I}_3$ then we know this is Combination reaction.
