Write the balanced chemical equations for the following reactions and identify the type of reaction in each case.
(a) Nitrogen gas is treated with hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst at 773K to form ammonia gas.
(b) Sodium hydroxide solution is treated with acetic acid to form sodium acetate and water.

(a) Nitrogen gas is treated with hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst at 773K to form ammonia gas.
(b) Sodium hydroxide solution is treated with acetic acid to form sodium acetate and water.

Answer:

(a) N {2}( g )+3 H {2}( g )=\frac{\text { catalyst }}{773 K } 2 NH {2}( g ) It is a combination reaction.

(b) NaOH ( aq )+ CH _{3} COOH ( aq ) \longrightarrow CH_3 COONa ( aq )+ H_2 O (l)
Option (b) is a neutralization reaction between a strong base and a weak acid.
