12. Complete each of the following word equations for synthesis reactions.
a. sodium + oxygen -> ___
b. magnesium + fluorine -> ___
13. Complete and balance the equations for the decomposition reactions.
a. HgO -> [with the triangle heat symbol above the arrow] _____
b. H2O(l) -> [with "electricity" written above the arrow] _____

Respuesta :

Explanation:

12)

a) Sodium + oxygen = ?

When sodium reacts oxygen its forms sodium oxide as a product.

[tex]4Na(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Na_2O(s)[/tex]

b) magnesium + fluorine = ?

When magnesium reacts with fluorine its forms magnesium fluoride as a product.

[tex]Mg(s)+F_2(g)\rightarrow MgF_2(s)[/tex]

13)

a) [tex]2HgO(s)\overset{\Delta }\rightarrow 2Hg(l)+O_2(g)[/tex]

Decomposition of mercury(II) oxide on heating gives out mercury and oxygen gas.

b)[tex]2H_2O(l)\overset{Electricity}\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)[/tex]

The electrolytic decomposition of water gives out hydrogen gas amd oxygen gas.
