Question

Write balanced chemical equations for each of the following:
(i) Action of warm water on AlN.
(ii) Action of hot and concentrated Nitric acid on copper.
(iii) Action of Hydrochloric acid on sodium bicarbonate.
(iv) Action of dilute Sulphuric acid on Sodium Sulphite.
(v) Preparation of ethanol from Ethyl Chloride.

Answer 1

(i) \( AlN +3 H _{2} O \rightarrow Al ( OH )_{3}+ NH _{3} \) (ii) \( Cu +4 HNO _{3} \rightarrow Cu \left( NO _{3}\right)_{2}+2 H _{2} O +2 NO _{2} \) (iii) \( NaHCO _{3}+ HCl \rightarrow NaCl + H _{2} O + CO _{2} \) (iv) \( Na _{2} SO _{3}+ H _{2} SO _{4} \rightarrow Na _{2} SO _{4}+ H _{2} O + SO _{2} \) (v) \( C _{2} H _{5} Cl + KOH ( aq ) \rightarrow C _{2} H _{5} OH + KCl \)
