Because as u go across groups the more reactive it is due to the ability of electrons to be given or taken away

Write the complete balanced equation for the neutralization reaction that occurs when aqueous hydroiodic acid, HI, and sodium hy

Serhud [2]

Answer:

H+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) ------> H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )

Explanation:

The complete reaction when hydroiodic acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate combine, would be as follows -

HI + NaHCO3 ----> NaI + H2O + CO2

net reaction

H2CO3 is highly unstable, and thus decomposes into the water and carbon dioxide you see present as the reactants. If you didn't know already, H2CO3 is also reffered to as carbonic acid. The rest of the elements present on the reactant side are Iodine and Sodium, which is why they are present on the product side as NaI.

Let me include the " physical states " in this reaction as well -

HI ( aq ) + NaHCO3 ( aq ) ----> NaI ( aq ) + H2O ( l ) + CO2 ( g )

Now the complete ionic equation would simply be each compound present as ions in an aqueous solution, so there is no need for an explanation on this step -

H+ ( aq ) + I- ( aq ) + Na+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) -------> Na+ ( aq ) + I- ( aq ) + H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )

The spectator ions in this reaction are I- and Na+, so canceling them out, you would receive the following net ionic equation -

H+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) ------> H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )

Which trait is most likely a result of artificial selection

ycow [4]

Answer:

Explanation:Artificial selection is distinct from natural selection in that it describes selection applied by humans in order to produce genetic change. When artificial selection is imposed, the trait or traits being selected are known, whereas with natural selection they have to be inferred. In most circumstances and unless otherwise qualified, directional selection is applied, i.e., only high-scoring individuals are favored for a quantitative trait. Artificial selection is the basic method of genetic improvement programs for crop plants or livestock (see Selective Breeding). It is also used as a tool in the laboratory to investigate the genetic properties of a trait in a species or population, for example, the magnitude of genetic variance or heritability, the possible duration of and limits to selection, and the correlations among traits, including with fitness.

Calculate the molar concentration of the Cl⁻ ions in 0.92 M MnCl2(aq).

scZoUnD [109]

MnCl2(aq) is an ionic compound which will have the releasing of 2 Cl⁻ ions ions in water for every molecule of MnCl2 that dissolves.
MnCl2(s) --> Mn+(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq)
[Cl⁻] = 0.92 mol MnCl2/1L × 2 mol Cl⁻ / 1 mol MnCl2 = 1.8 M
The answer to this question is [Cl⁻] = 1.8 M
