The cornea does not contain any blood vessels, but instead contains many nerve endings that make it extremely sensitive. That is why a scratch or a loose eyelash is so painful.

Based on solubility rules what ions in water might interfere with the analysis of calcium ions by precipitation of calcium carbo
Pavlova-9 [17]
First, we must know what happens in the precipitation reaction. This type of reaction is a double replacement reactions. It is consists of two reactant compounds which interchange cations and anions to form two products. One of the products is an insoluble solid called a precipitate. For the precipitation of CaCO₃, there are two consecutive reactions involved:

1. Slaking of quicklime, CaO
    CaO + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂

2. Precipitation
    Ca(OH)₂ + CO₂ ⇒ CaCO₃ + H₂O

The ions that make up the H₂O molecule are H⁺ and OH⁻. According to solubility rules, the cation (positively charged ion) is likely to be attracted to an anion (negatively charged ion). Together, they form an ionic bond. This type of bond is when there is a complete transfer of electrons between the two. The Ca²⁺ cation lacks 2 electrons, while the anion OH⁻ has an excess 1 electron. In order to be stable, 1 Ca²⁺ ion and 2 OH⁻ ions must combine.

Therefore, the answer is OH⁻ ion.

Please help me with this question
vampirchik [111]

Remember that

  • For being a bond covalent ∆E<1.8
  • For being a bond ionic ∆E>1.8

#1

  • ∆EN=0.5

Carbon is present so it's covalent

#2

  • OH bond is also covalent

#3

  • P-H will hardly form a bond

#4

  • Ionic bond

#5

  • Ionic bond

In your own words list the rules for naming hydrocarbons and substituted hydrocarbons. Be detailed in listing all rules includin
Irina18 [472]

Answer :

The basic rules for naming of hydrocarbons are :

First select the longest possible carbon chain.

The longest possible carbon chain should include the carbons of double or triple bonds.

The naming of alkane is done by adding the suffix -ane, alkene by adding the suffix -ene, alkyne by adding the suffix -yne.

The numbering is done in such a way that first carbon of double or triple bond gets the lowest number.

The carbon atoms of the double or triple bond get the preference over the other substituents present in the parent chain.

If two or more similar alkyl groups are present in a compound, the prefixes di-, tri-, tetra- and so on are used to specify the number of times of the alkyl groups in the chain.

What is not represented by a balanced chemical equation?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

A balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass. This law states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form. This means that total mass on the reactant side is equal to the total mass on the product side.
