Use the molecular art to identify the process as a
Interpretation:
The type of change (physical or chemical change) represented by the molecular art has to be given and explained. If the process is physical, the phase change has to be written and if the process is chemical, the equation has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Physical change: An alteration of substance without changing its composition is called as physical change. The change in state of a substance is the most common physical change. Example: Melting of an ice cube to form liquid water.
Chemical change: The conversion of one material to another is called as chemical change (or) chemical reaction. Example: formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen is a chemical reaction because there is difference in the composition of the material at the beginning and end of the process.
Explanation of Solution
The given representation is,
Figure 1
The above represent represents a chemical change because new products are formed by chemical bonds.
The three red spheres represent ozone
The combination of red and black spheres represents carbon monoxide
The combination of two red spheres with one black sphere represents carbon dioxide
The two red spheres represent oxygen
The chemical equation is,
The reaction is not balanced.
The balanced equation is,

- Table 6.1 lists some clues that a chemical reaction has occurred. However, these events do not necessarily prove the existence of a chemical change. Give an example for each of the clues that is not a chemical reaction but a physical change.arrow_forwardConsider the following particulate-level representation of a chemical equation: The white spheres represent hydrogen atoms, the black sphere represents a carbon atom, and the red spheres represent oxygen atoms. a Write a balanced chemical equation representing this reaction. b Write a word description of the reaction on the particulate and molar levels.arrow_forwardMany over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting the stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a “burp”). Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this process.arrow_forward
- Assume you have a highly magnified view of a solution of HCl that allows you to see the HCl. Draw this magnified view. If you dropped in a piece of magnesium, the magnesium would disappear and hydrogen gas would be released. Represent this change using symbols for the elements, and write out the balanced equation.arrow_forwardCarbon dioxide from the atmosphere weathers, or dissolves, limestone (CaCO3) by the reaction CaCO3(s)+CO2(g)+H2O(l)Ca2(aq)+2HCO3(aq) Obtain H for this reaction. See Table 6.2 for the data.arrow_forward
