The following unbalanced equation describes the oxidation of ethanol to acetic acid by potassium
permanganate:

C2H5OH + KMnO4 HC2H3O2 + MnO2 + KOH + H2O

present assuming 100% efficiency. How much (g) of each of the other products will be created? Show
ALL work and circle your answers.

3.

In a cascading chemical process, there are four chemical reactions. (states of matter are not important)

Reaction 1: nitric acid reacts with calcium carbonate to create calcium nitrate, carbon dioxide, and water
Reaction 2: carbon dioxide combines with sodium hydroxide to create sodium carbonate and water
Reaction 3: sodium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce sodium chloride and carbonic acid

acid is produced? Show ALL work and circle your answer.
