Answer:

Ionic bonding can result from a redox reaction when atoms of an element (usually metal), whose ionization energy is low, give some of their electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. In doing so, cations are formed. An atom of another element (usually nonmetal) with greater electron affinity accepts the electron(s) to attain a stable electron configuration, and after accepting electron(s) an atom becomes an anion.

Answer:

In an ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, In which the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

Hey there!:

Balanced equation:

Na2CO3(aq) + CuCl(aq) -> CuCO3(s) + 2 NaCl(aq)

Since CuCO3 is more stable so displacement and precipitation will take place.

Hope that helps!

Why does the temperature of different layers of the atmosphere vary

scoundrel [369]

It has different reasons. the temperature difference is basically the main reason why the earth atmosphere has layers.
Theoretically the temperature varies because of the different molecules and atoms. for instance the first layer known as troposphere has the greenhouse effect of CO2,CH4, etc. and is covered with a layer of O3...

Elden [556K]

Answer:

When copper(II) chloride and sodium carbonate solutions are combined, solid copper(II) carbonate precipitates, leaving a solution of sodium chloride. Write the conventional equation, total ionic equation, and net ionic equation for this reaction.

Explanation:

The word equation for the reaction is:

Copper (II) chloride(aq) + sodium carbonate (aq) ->sodium chloride (aq) + copper carbonate(s)

The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is:

$CuCl_2(aq)+Na_2CO_3(aq)->2NaCl(aq)+CuCO_3(s)$

The complete ionic equation is:

$Cu^2+(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)+2Na^+(aq)+CO_3^2^-(aq)->2Cl^-(aq)+2Na^+(aq)+CuCO_3(s)\\$

The net ionic equation is obtained from the complete ionic equation after removing the spectator ions:

$Cu^2^+(aq)+CO_3^2^-(aq)->CuCO_3(s)$

Answer:

The boiling point decreases as the volume decreases.

Explanation:

The Temperature - Volume law otherwise called as Charles law is applied, which says that the volume of the given gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to the temperature measured in Kelvin. As the volume increases, the temperature also increases, if the volume decreases, then the temperature also decreases.

As per the Charles law, here the volume is decreased from 50 ml to 25 ml so the boiling point also decreases.
