Write a molecular equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs (if any) when the following solutions are mixed. If no rea
iragen [17]

Answer :

(A) The balanced molecular equation will be:

K_2CO_3(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+PbCO_3(s)

(B) The balanced molecular equation will be:

Li_2SO_4(aq)+Pb(CH_3COOH)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2LiCH_3COOH(aq)+PbSO_4(s)

(C) The balanced molecular equation will be:

Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2S(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+CuS(s)

(D) The balanced molecular equation will be:

Sr(NO_3)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow \text{No reaction}

Explanation :

Molecular equation : It is defined as a balanced chemical equation where the ionic compounds are expressed in the form of molecules rather than component of ions.

Precipitation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which an insoluble salt formed when two aqueous solutions are combined.

The insoluble salt that settle down in the solution is known an precipitate.

Part A  : potassium carbonate and lead(II) nitrate

The balanced molecular equation will be:

K_2CO_3(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+PbCO_3(s)

In this reaction, lead carbonate is an insoluble salt and potassium nitrate is a soluble solution.

Part B : lithium sulfate and lead(II) acetate

The balanced molecular equation will be:

Li_2SO_4(aq)+Pb(CH_3COOH)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2LiCH_3COOH(aq)+PbSO_4(s)

In this reaction, lead sulfate is an insoluble salt and lithium acetate is a soluble solution.

Part C : copper(II) nitrate and sodium sulfide

The balanced molecular equation will be:

Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2S(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+CuS(s)

In this reaction, Cuprous sulfide is an insoluble salt and sodium nitrate is a soluble solution.

Part D : strontium nitrate and potassium iodide

The balanced molecular equation will be:

Sr(NO_3)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+SrI_2(aq)

In this reaction, strontium iodide and potassium nitrate are soluble solution.

Sr(NO_3)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow \text{No reaction}

HELPP!!!!!!!!!!
muminat

1. Mg + CuSO4 —> MgSO4 + Cu

=> Single displacement reaction

2. 2HCI + Mg(OH)2 —> MgCI2 + H2O

=> Acid - base reaction

3.AgNO3 + NaCI —> AgCI + NaNO3

=> Double displacement reaction

Explain the following phenomena. why Fluorine has lower electron affinity than chlorine​
Radda [10]

Electron affinity for fluorine is than chlorine most likely , due to the electron repulsion that occur between the electron where n= 2 . the elements in the second period have such small electron clouds that electron repulsion is greater than that of the rest of the family.
