Please select a chemical reaction (for example, digestion, decomposition, or
oxidation) you observe in your daily life, attach a picture if possible. Please
include references you’ve used other than the course textbook.
-What is the chemical equation for the reaction? (1 pt.)
-What are the reactants and products in the equation? Was each of them, as
you observed it, (s), (l), (g) or (aq)? (1 pt.)
-Is it a displacement, combination, or decomposition reaction? (1 pt.)
-Using each reactant’s molecular weight and density as a
reference, approximately how many moles of each reactant have you observed
take part in the reaction? (Please show calculations.) (1 pt.)
-Using Avogadro’s number as a reference, approximately how many atoms,
molecules, or formula units of each reactant have you observed take part in the
reaction? Please show calculations.) (1 pt.)
