Answer:

a. K₂CO₃(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) → 2KNO₃(aq) + PbCO₃(s)

b. Li₂SO₄(aq) + Pb(C₂H₃O₂)₂(aq) → 2Li(C₂H₃O₂) + PbSO₄(s)

c. Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + MgS(aq) → Mg(NO₃)₂(aq) + CuS(s)

d. NO REACTION

Explanation:

For the reactions, the cation and the anion of the compounds will be replaced. The reaction will occur if at least one of the products is insoluble and will form a precipitated.

a. Potassium carbonate = K₂CO₃

Lead(II) nitrate = Pb(NO₃)₂

Products = KNO₃ and PbCO₃.

According to the solubility rules, all K⁺ ions are soluble, with no exceptions, so KNO₃ is soluble. All CO₃⁻² ions are insoluble, and Pb⁺² is not an exception, so PbCO₃ will be insoluble and will form a precipitated, so the reaction happen:

K₂CO₃(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) → 2KNO₃(aq) + PbCO₃(s)

b. Lithium sulfate = Li₂SO₄

Lead(II) acetate = Pb(C₂H₃O₂)₂

Products = Li(C₂H₃O₂) and PbSO₄

All Li⁺ are solubles, without exceptions, so Li(C₂H₃O₂) is soluble, and all SO₄⁻² are soluble, but Pb⁺² is an exception, so PbSO₄ is insoluble and will form a precipitated, then the reaction happens:

Li₂SO₄(aq) + Pb(C₂H₃O₂)₂(aq) → 2Li(C₂H₃O₂) + PbSO₄(s)

c. Copper(II) nitrate = Cu(NO₃)₂

Magnesium sulfide = MgS

Products = CuS and Mg(NO₃)₂

All NO₃⁻ are soluble, with no exceptions, so Mg(NO₃)₂ is soluble, and all S⁺² are insoluble, and Cu⁺² is not an exception, so CuS is insoluble, and will form a precipitated, then the reaction happens:

Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + MgS(aq) → Mg(NO₃)₂(aq) + CuS(s)

d. Strontium nitrate = Sr(NO₃)₂

Potassium iodi = KI

Products = K(NO₃)₂ and SrI₂

All K⁺ are soluble, with no exceptions, so K(NO₃)₂ is soluble, and all I⁻ are soluble, and Sr⁺² are not an exception, then SrI₂ is soluble. Therefore, no precipitated is formed and the reaction doesn't happen.

Provide an explanation that is grounded in polarity that better explains why oil is not miscible in vinegar.

butalik [34]

Explanation:

Vinegar is a sour liquid made up of acetic acid compounds. Oil is a complex non-polar chemical compound with a high amount of hydrogen and carbon in its structure.

Vinegar is a polar acid, although a weak one.
Generally, for a substance to mix with another one, they must be similar.
Solubility of compounds controls miscibility.
When two substances are miscible, they can be said to be soluble in one another.
In solubility, like substances dissolves like substances.
This implies that polar compounds will only dissolve polar compounds.
Non-polar compounds will only dissolve in non-polar solvents.
Since vinegar is polar and oil is non-polar, they will not dissolve one another.

Plants are responsibe for a very important energy transformation what answer

Soloha48 [4]

Plants are chlorophyll-containing photosynthetic organisms. Thus, they convert solar or radiant energy into chemical energy under the process termed as photosynthesis.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Plants are chlorophyll-containing photosynthetic living beings. Consequently, they convert radiant energy into chemical energy under the procedure named photosynthesis.

Except for remote ocean hydro-thermal environment, the sun is the only source for all biological systems on earth. Plants catch just 2-10 percent of the solar radiation and transmit it as chemical energy. All creatures are reliant for their nourishment on producers (plants), either directly or indirectly. So there is a stream of energy from the sun (radiant energy) to producers and then to consumers (chemical energy).

whoch of the following statments doesnt describe the structure of a atowhich of the following do not describe the structure of a

ra1l [238]

Answer : The incorrect option is, The most of the mass of the atom comes from the electron cloud.

Explanation :

There are three basic particles of an atom which are neutrons, protons and electrons.

The nucleus which is present in the center of an atom that contains the neutrons and the protons. The protons are positively charged and neutrons has no charge.

The outer region of an atom contains the electrons and the electrons are negatively charged.

As per given options, the statement which is the most of the mass of the atom comes from the electron cloud is incorrect statement because the most of the mass comes from the nucleus in which protons and neutrons are present.

Why do scientists use models to study atoms?

umka2103 [35]

Because atoms are the small and can't be seen by your eyes. It is so small that scientists need to use a model. A model help scientists study things. So, scientists needs to study atoms using models.
