Examining Molecular Equations

Concept #1: Introduction to Molecular Equations

In a typical molecular equation, two reactants dissociate and reorganize to form new products

Example #1: Which of the following is a precipitation reaction?

Example #2: Predict whether a chemical reaction occurs and write the balanced molecular equation.

A reaction occurs only if solid, gas or liquid water is formed. If both products are aqueous, NO REACTION has occurred.

Practice: Predict whether a chemical reaction occurs and write the balanced molecular equation.

Ag2SO4 (aq) + KCl (aq) →

Practice: Predict whether a chemical reaction occurs and write the balanced molecular equation.

MgBr2 (aq) +  NaC2H3O2 (aq) →

Practice: Determine the balanced equation for the neutralization equation

Ca(OH)2 (aq) + HCN (aq) →
