Write the balanced equation for each of the following changes and identify whether heat is a product or needed to start the reaction (do not include 'heat' in your balanced equation, simply identify whether it is a product or reactant):
(a) the sublimation of dry ice [conversion of CO2(s) directly to CO2(g)] Heat is a product and is given off by the reaction. Heat is a reactant and is needed to start the reaction.
(b) the reaction of 1 mol of sulfur dioxide with oxygen. Heat is a reactant and is needed to start the reaction. Heat is a product and is given off by the reaction.

Explanation:

(a) the sublimation of dry ice [conversion of CO2(s) directly to CO2(g)]

The balanced equation is given as;

CO2(s) --> CO2(g)

This reaction is endothermic, hence; Heat is a reactant and is needed to start the reaction.

(b) the reaction of 1 mol of sulfur dioxide with oxygen.

The balanced equation is given as;

2SO2 + O2 --> 2SO3

This reaction is exothermic, hence; Heat is a product and is given off by the reaction.
