    Balanced Chemical Equations and Types of Reactions

    Write the balanced chemical equation for the following and identify the type of reaction in each case

    1. (a) Potassium bromide(aq) + Barium iodide(aq) → Potassium iodide(aq) + Barium bromide(s)
    2. (b) Zinc carbonate(s) → Zinc oxide(s) + Carbon dioxide(g)
    3. (c) Hydrogen(g) + Chlorine(g) → Hydrogen chloride(g)
    4. (d) Magnesium(s) + Hydrochloric acid(aq) → Magnesium chloride(aq) + Hydrogen(g)

    Balanced Equations and Reaction Types:

    1. (a) Potassium bromide(aq) + Barium iodide(aq) → Potassium iodide(aq) + Barium bromide(s)
      2 KBr (aq) + BaI₂ (aq) → 2 KI (aq) + BaBr₂ (s)
      Type of Reaction: Double displacement (precipitation) reaction.
    2. (b) Zinc carbonate(s) → Zinc oxide(s) + Carbon dioxide(g)
      ZnCO₃ (s) → ZnO (s) + CO₂ (g)
      Type of Reaction: Decomposition reaction.
    3. (c) Hydrogen(g) + Chlorine(g) → Hydrogen chloride(g)
      H₂ (g) + Cl₂ (g) → 2 HCl (g)
      Type of Reaction: Combination (synthesis) reaction.
    4. (d) Magnesium(s) + Hydrochloric acid(aq) → Magnesium chloride(aq) + Hydrogen(g)
      Mg (s) + 2 HCl (aq) → MgCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)
      Type of Reaction: Single displacement (redox) reaction.
