Physical and chemical changes — practice question
A set of symbol equations and word equations, labelled A to J, is given below.
A Fe$^{3+}$ + 3OH$^-$ $\rightarrow$ Fe(OH)$__3$
B H$^+$ + OH$^-$ $\rightarrow$ H$__2$O
C ethane + chlorine $\rightarrow$ chloroethane + hydrogen chloride
D C$__{12}$H$__{26}$ $\rightarrow$ C$__8$H$__{18}$ + C$__4$H$__8$
E ethene + steam $\rightarrow$ ethanol
F chlorine + aqueous potassium iodide $\rightarrow$ iodine + aqueous potassium chloride
G C$__6$H$__{12}$O$__6$ $\rightarrow$ 2C$__2$H$__5$OH + 2CO$__2$
H ethanoic acid + ethanol $\rightarrow$ ethyl ethanoate + water
I calcium carbonate $\rightarrow$ calcium oxide + carbon dioxide
J 6CO$__2$ + 6H$__2$O $\rightarrow$ C$__6$H$__{12}$O$__6$ + 6O$__2$
