Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.59 Chemical Equations and Symbol Meaning skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which row correctly separates coefficient, subscript, and state symbol in 4(NH4)2SO4(aq)?

ACoefficient 4 is the charge; subscript 2 means two sulfate ions; (aq) means solid.

BCoefficient 4 changes NH4 into N4H16; subscript 2 means two separate products; (aq) means gas.

CCoefficient 4 applies only to nitrogen; subscript 2 applies only to sulfur; (aq) means catalyst.

DCoefficient 4 counts formula units; subscript 2 applies to the NH4 group; (aq) means aqueous.

Solution & Explanation:The coefficient multiplies the entire formula unit, the subscript outside parentheses applies to the grouped ion, and (aq) identifies the substance as dissolved in water.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which complete ionic equation is consistent with HNO3(aq) + KOH(aq) -> KNO3(aq) + H2O(l)?

AHNO3(s) + KOH(s) -> K+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + H2O(g)

BH+(aq) + OH-(aq) -> KNO3(s) + H2O(l)

CH+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + K+(aq) + OH-(aq) -> K+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + H2O(l)

DK+(aq) + NO3-(aq) -> KNO3(s)

Solution & Explanation:Strong acid, strong base, and soluble salt are written as ions in the complete ionic equation, while liquid water remains H2O(l).

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

In an equation for electrolysis, why is electric current written over the arrow rather than as a reactant formula?

AIt is a gas product and should be labeled (g).

BIt is a reaction condition or energy input, not a chemical species counted by coefficients.

CIt changes the subscript in H2O to make H2O2.

DIt replaces the need to balance the equation.

Solution & Explanation:Conditions such as electric current can be written over the arrow. Chemical species that are counted in the equation are written as reactants or products.
