Answer
(a) We get the following information from the given chemical equation:
- Zinc and Hydrochloric acid are reactants. Zinc is in solid state that reacts with dilute HCl.
- The reaction is irreversible.
- The products formed are aqueous solution of zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.
- The equation is balanced i.e., number of atoms of each element on reactants and products sides are equal.
(b) We get the following information from the given chemical equation:
- The reactants nitrogen and hydrogen and the product ammonia all are gases.
- The reaction is reversible and exothermic.
- The reaction took place at a temperature between 400-500°C and at a high pressure between 200-900 atmosphere.
- The catalyst is iron and molybdenum acts as a promoter which increases the efficiency of the catalyst.
- The equation is balanced i.e., number of atoms of each element on reactants and products sides are equal.
