- Detailed information on the equation Zn + Na2SeO3 -> ZnSeO3 + 2Na
- The equation shows the reaction between zinc (Zn) and sodium selenite (Na2SeO3) to create zinc selenite (ZnSeO3) and sodium (Na).
- It represents the transfer of ions during the reaction process, from initial zinc and sodium selenite to final zinc selenite and sodium.
- Reaction conditions
- This reaction requires an external heat source to initiate, as it does not occur naturally at room temperature.
- Reaction process
- Zinc reacts with sodium selenite to create zinc selenite and sodium.
- Zinc and sodium selenite react with each other in a high-temperature environment, resulting in a transfer of ions from the initial zinc and sodium selenite to the final zinc selenite and sodium.
- Occurring phenomena
- There is a change in color during the reaction process, from the color of the initial zinc and sodium selenite to the color of the final zinc selenite and sodium.
- If the reaction process takes place in a solution, the decrease in mass of the initial zinc and sodium selenite can be observed, and the increase in mass of the final zinc selenite and sodium.
- If the reaction process occurs in a test tube or beaker, the disappearance of the initial zinc and sodium selenite and the appearance of the final zinc selenite and sodium can be observed.
