Signs that a chemical reaction is occurring are: 1. change in color 2. change in odor 3. change in pH, as in changes from acid to base or base to acid
We can use any solution containing chloride ions as NaCl solution or even dilute HCl due to mercurous Hg₂²⁺ is from group I cations which precipitated as chloride while Sr²⁺ is from group V
Net ionic equation:
Hg₂²⁺ + 2 Cl⁻ → Hg₂Cl₂ (white precipitate)
while SrCl₂ is soluble salt<span />
Answer:
Calcium is a Group 2 metal. Fluorine is a Group 17 gas. Towards the right of the Periodic table, ELEMENTS tend to get smaller as the increased nuclear charge exerts a greater attractive force on the valence electrons. The small fluorine atom tends to attract electrons, and is energetically most stable when it forms the F
− ion. On the other hand, calcium is a large Group 2 metal. It has 2 valence electrons, which are in the valence (the outermost) shell, and nuclear charge is somewhat diminished for these electrons. Calcium tends to be oxidized (to lose electrons) to form C a 2
+ ions. So if calcium and fluorine want to make music together (or at least form a chemical bond), then a formula of (C a F 2) is entirely reasonable (why? because this combination is electrically neutral!). And in fact in nature the mineral fluorite (
C a F
2
) is very widespread.
Answer:
Hydrogen ions
Explanation: acids will produce hydrogen ions, I asked my teacher. Please tell me if we are wrong.
