What is the predicted product from the following combination reaction?
\[
\mathrm{Sr}(s)+\mathrm{Br} 2(l)
\]
A) SrBr
B) $\mathrm{Sr}_{2} \mathrm{Br}$
C) $\mathrm{SrBr}_{2}$
D) $\mathrm{Sr}_{2} \mathrm{Br}_{3}$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Type of Reaction
Examine the given chemical equation: \(\mathrm{Zn}(s) + \mathrm{HCl}(aq) \rightarrow \mathrm{ZnCl}_{2}(aq) + \mathrm{H}_{2}(g)\).
Recognize that zinc (\(\mathrm{Zn}\)) is replacing hydrogen (\(\mathrm{H}\)) in hydrochloric acid (\(\mathrm{HCl}\)).
This is characteristic of a single-replacement reaction, where one element replaces another in a compound.
Step 2: Predict the Product of a Combination Reaction
Analyze the given reactants: \(\mathrm{Sr}(s) + \mathrm{Br}_{2}(l)\).
In a combination reaction, two or more substances combine to form a single product.
Strontium (\(\mathrm{Sr}\)) and bromine (\(\mathrm{Br}_{2}\)) will combine to form strontium bromide.
The correct chemical formula for strontium bromide, considering the charges of \(\mathrm{Sr}^{2+}\) and \(\mathrm{Br}^{-}\), is \(\mathrm{SrBr}_{2}\).
Step 3: Choose the Correct Answer for Each Question
For the first question, the correct answer is C) single-replacement reaction.
For the second question, the correct answer is B) \(\mathrm{SrBr}_{2}\).
Final Answer
For question 21: The correct answer is C) single-replacement reaction.
For question 22: The correct answer is B) \(\mathrm{SrBr}_{2}\).
