Symbol Equations
1 / 10
A student adds dilute hydrochloric acid to calcium carbonate chips in a test tube. Effervescence is observed and a colorless gas is released. Which correctly represents the balanced symbol equation with state symbols?
Reasoning: Calcium carbonate reacts with dilute acid in solid form, producing aqueous calcium chloride, liquid water, and carbon dioxide gas. Coefficients must balance hydrogen atoms.
2 / 10
When aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and sodium chloride are mixed, a white precipitate forms immediately. Which equation correctly represents the reaction?
Reasoning: Both reactants are aqueous, and insoluble AgCl forms a solid precipitate.
3 / 10
Methane gas burns completely in excess oxygen producing carbon dioxide and water. Which is the correct equation?
Reasoning: Methane and oxygen are gases; combustion produces gaseous CO₂ and liquid water under standard conditions.
4 / 10
Zinc metal is placed in dilute sulfuric acid. Hydrogen gas evolves and zinc sulfate is formed in solution. The correct equation is:
Reasoning: Zinc is a solid metal reacting with aqueous acid producing aqueous salt and hydrogen gas.
5 / 10
During a neutralization reaction, aqueous sodium hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid forming salt and water. Which equation is correct?
Reasoning: Both reactants are aqueous; products are aqueous salt and liquid water.
6 / 10
Iron filings are added to copper sulfate solution. Copper metal is displaced and iron sulfate is formed. Which equation is correct?
Reasoning: Solid iron displaces copper from aqueous solution forming aqueous iron sulfate and solid copper.
7 / 10
On heating calcium carbonate strongly, it decomposes into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Which equation is correct?
Reasoning: Solid calcium carbonate decomposes into solid calcium oxide and gaseous carbon dioxide.
8 / 10
A student adds dilute acid to a metal carbonate and collects a gas that turns lime water milky. Which equation is correct?
Reasoning: Carbonates react with acids to produce CO₂ gas, water, and salt in aqueous form.
9 / 10
Which option correctly identifies the state symbols for a soluble ionic compound in water?
Reasoning: Soluble ionic compounds dissociate into ions and are represented as aqueous (aq).
10 / 10
Which statement is most important when deducing a symbol equation from given information?
Reasoning: A complete symbol equation requires correct formulas, balancing, and physical states.
