Complete the following equations and tell whether K>1 or K<1 or K=1.

a. BaCl₂ + Na₂CO₃ →

b. CaCl₂ + Fe(NO₃)₂ →

c. CH₃COOH + SO₄⁻²→

d. H₂SO₃ + NH₃ →

e. H₂O + H₃O⁺ →

f. ZnCO₃ + Cd(NO₃)₂ →

How to complete these equations and tell whether K>1, K<1, K=1?


My answers:-

I completed these equations as follows:

a. BaCl₂ + Na₂CO₃ → BaCO₃ + 2NaCl.

b.CaCl₂ + Fe(NO₃)₂ → Ca(NO₃)₂ + Fe(II)Cl₂.

c.CH₃COOH + SO₄⁻² → H₂SO₄ + CH₂O + CO.

d. H₂SO₃ + 2NH₃ → 2NH₄ + SO₃.

e. I don't know how to complete this reaction.

f. ZnCO₃ + Cd(NO₃)₂ → Zn(NO₃)₂ + CdCO₃.

Now, how to find K for these reactions?

A ok
b get a soup of ions,
c wrong, sulfate is a base
d charges missing
e H₅O₂+
f check soloubilities
Better write ionic equations generally.

K>1 or K<1 depend which side is precipitation.
