My homework is about translating word equations and I need help in answering this question. Sodium phosphate reacts with calcium nitrate to produce sodium nitrate and calcium phosphate. What would be the answer?
I also need help with this other question because it is kind of confusing for me to understand it.
Nitrogen monoxide and water vapor are produced from a reaction between ammonia and oxygen. What would be the answer?
And the last question that I also need help with in answering it is...
Iron(ll) hydroxide reacts with hydrogen peroxide to produce iron(lll) hydroxide.
Please help me with these answers because I have tried to really answer them, but for some reason I can't answer them because I really get confuse when I try to answer them.
Here is a site to help you learn to write formulas. It is imperative that you learn how to write the formulas. That is how you translate word equations to chemical equations.

Sodium phosphate reacts with calcium nitrate to produce sodium nitrate and calcium phosphate. What would be the answer?
Sodium phosphate is Na3PO4.
Calcium nitrate is Ca(NO3)2
Calcium phosophate is Ca3(PO4)2.
Sodium nitrate is NaNO3.
Use this and the site I gave you above to learn how to write the formulas. Then you can do the others. For compounds like nitrogen monoxide is just what it sounds like; i.e., NO. Ammonia is NH3 and water is H2O.
how to balance these equations
S8+Fe- Fe2S3
C6H14+O2- CO2+H2O
Al(No3)3+H2SO4 -Al2(SO4)3+HNO3
Bi@S3+HCl-BiCl3+H2S
Sure, I can help you with these questions. To answer the questions, we need to understand the concept of word equations and how to translate them.
In a word equation, the reactants (substances that undergo a chemical reaction) are usually written on the left side of the equation and the products (substances produced as a result of the reaction) are written on the right side. The arrow in the middle represents the direction of the reaction.
1. Sodium phosphate reacts with calcium nitrate to produce sodium nitrate and calcium phosphate.
To translate this equation, we break it down as follows:
Reactants: Sodium phosphate and calcium nitrate
Products: Sodium nitrate and calcium phosphate
Now we can write the word equation:
Sodium phosphate + calcium nitrate → sodium nitrate + calcium phosphate
2. Nitrogen monoxide and water vapor are produced from a reaction between ammonia and oxygen.
Again, let's break down the information:
Reactants: Ammonia and oxygen
Products: Nitrogen monoxide and water vapor
The word equation would be:
Ammonia + oxygen → nitrogen monoxide + water vapor
3. Iron(II) hydroxide reacts with hydrogen peroxide to produce iron(III) hydroxide.
Breaking down the information:
Reactants: Iron(II) hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide
Products: Iron(III) hydroxide
The word equation becomes:
Iron(II) hydroxide + hydrogen peroxide → iron(III) hydroxide
Remember that word equations only describe the reactants and products using words. If you were asked to write the balanced chemical equations, you would need to use chemical formulas and coefficients.
I hope this helps you understand how to translate the word equations and answer your homework questions! Let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.
