Question

I need help with Chemisty

Answer 1

I know how to balanced equation. But I don't know which is (aq), (s), (l), and (g).

2 KCl + Na2CO3 = K2CO3 + 2 NaCl

Answer 2

@UnbelievableDreams you mean what the symbols (aq) mean or which compound is in the solid etc ?

Answer 3

Do you have a solubility table/rules?

Answer 4

No. @JoannaBlackwelder
Which compound? @Photon336

Answer 5

@JoannaBlackwelder I know that this is a double displacement reaction, wouldn't it be KCl(s) Na2CO3(aq) = K2CO3(aq) + NaCl(aq). assuming this is done in water...

Answer 6

@UnbelievableDreams you're asking what the phases each of the reactants and products are in the equation right? did they give any more info about the reaction?

Answer 7

@Photon336 Yes, I wanted to know reactants and products. Like how do you know KCl is a solid?

Answer 8

KClis ionic, and it's a solid, ionic compound are solids at room temperature

Answer 9

Do it have rules? Because I have few equations that I need to know if it is solid.. etc

Answer 10

there are solubility rules but but those depend on what solvent you're dissolving it in. I believe both KCl(aq) Na2CO3(aq) are soluble in water = as well as K2CO3(aq) + NaCl(aq)

Answer 11

sorry when i meant it i mean like any particular compound you're looking at

Answer 12

I think it's this K2CO3(aq) + 2 NaCl(aq) = 2 KCl(aq) + Na2CO3(g)

Answer 13

any compound could be solid, liquid, gas, or aqueous, depending on the situation. Because this is a double displacement, I'd be willing to bet that all 4 are (aq)

Answer 14

@JFraser that's what i was thinking

Answer 15

@Photon336 you've got \(Na_2CO_3\) as a gas up there, you're going to want to fix that

Answer 16

Honestly, I am confused. I wanted to know how you get this. I have another equation.

Na2SO4 + BaCl2 = BaSO4 + 2NaCl

Which compound is in solid, etc.. :/

Answer 17

for this one you need to know the solubility rules

Answer 18

the \(general\) patterns that ionic compounds will either dissolve in water (aq) or precipitate (s)

Answer 19

all the \(reactants\) in a double displacement reaction like this will be (aq)

Answer 20

It makes sense, thank you.
