Question

Write the balanced chemical equations for the following reactions and identify the type of reaction in each case.
i. Nitrogen gas is treated with hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst at 773 K to form ammonia gas.
ii. Sodium hydroxide solution is treated with acetic acid to form sodium acetate and water.
iii. Ethanol is warmed with ethanoic acid to form ethyl acetate in presence of concentrated H₂SO₄.
iv. Ethene is burnt in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide, water and releases heat and light.

Answer 1

This is a combination as well as reduction reaction.

This is a double displacement reaction.

This is a double displacement reaction.

This is a redox reaction, combustion reaction and also an exothermic reaction.
