Describe the difference between physical and chemical changes in terms of what happens to the matter

1 answer:

6 0

A physical change means that the matter will remain the same, let's say you take a piece of paper and tear it in half, it's still paper. The difference with chemical changes is, the matter changes state; now let's say you take that piece of paper and light it on fire, it's state changes to ash.

Write a double replacement precipitation reaction A precipitate forms when aqueous solutions of nickel(II) chloride and silver(I

harkovskaia [24]

Answer: The balanced chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which exchange of ions takes place.

$AB+CD\rightarrow CB+AD$

Precipitation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an insoluble salt is formed when two solutions are mixed containing soluble substances. The insoluble salt settles down at the bottom of the reaction mixture.

When nickel (II) chloride reacts with silver (I) nitrate, it leads to the formation of white precipitate of silver chloride and an aqueous solution of nickel (II) nitrate.

The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction follows:

$NiCl_2(aq.)+2AgNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2AgCl(s)+Ni(NO_3)_2(aq.)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aqueous solution of nickel (II) chloride reacts with 2 moles of aqueous solution of silver (I) nitrate to produce 2 moles of solid silver chloride and 1 moles of aqueous solution of nickel (II) nitrate

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.

HELP PLEASE Explain why the elements of group 1 and 7 are quite reactive

Sauron [17]

Group 17 is the most readily reduced elements on the periodic table, meaning that they are so close to being a stable elements, only missing 1 electron to complete their valance electron shell. Thus they will essentially react with anything to get that last electron!

Group 1 elements are extremely reactive because they are the most readily oxidized, they are very close to reaching stability by giving up only 1 electron. Thus they will react with almost anything to give up their electron.
