Write balanced chemical equations, including states-of-matter, for the following reactions: a. Dinitrogen pentoxide gas reacts with sodium metal to produce solid sodium nitrate and gaseous nitrogen dioxide. N2O5(g) + Na(s) ® NaNO3(s) + NO2(g) b. A mixture of nitric acid and nitrous acid is formed when water reacts with dinitrogen tetroxide gas. N2O4(g) + H2O(l) ® HNO3(aq) + HNO2(aq) c. Potassium reacts with water to give hydrogen and aqueous potassium hydroxide. 2 K(s) + 2 H2O(l) ® H2(g) + 2 KOH(aq) d. Carbon dioxide reacts with carbon to form carbon monoxide. CO2(g) + C(s) ® 2 CO(g) Iron(III) oxide reacts with carbon monoxide to form iron metal and carbon dioxide gas: 1 Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) ® 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g) In a certain experiment, 5.0 g of iron(III) oxide is reacted with 5.0 g of carbon monoxide gas. a. What mass of iron will be produced, assuming a complete reaction? What is the limiting reactant?
