1. BaCl2+K2SO4⇒BaSO4+KCl
2. Na+FeCl3⇒Fe+NaCl
Given
Word equation
Required
Skeleton equation
Solution
A chemical reaction can be expressed in terms of:
The skeleton equation is still in unbalanced form
So only chemical formulas of reactants and products and the relative amounts of the reactants and products are not included
For example :
• word equation
Ethane + Oxygen ⇒ Carbon dioxide + Water
• skeleton equation
C₂H₆ + O₂ ⇒ CO₂ + H₂O
• balanced equation
2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ ⇒ 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
