Answer:

Physical change

Explanation:

Different types of changes take place. Two such changes are physical change and chemical change.

Physical change

This takes place when a substance changes from one state to another without changing the chemical composition. For example, water changes from liquid to solid (ice) when frozen. Thus, water has not changed its chemical properties. A physical change is reversible.

Thus, the melting of aluminium cans is a physical change.

Chemical change

This is a reaction that changes the original reactants to give different products. For example, burning coal gives ash, soot, carbon dioxide and water. Most chemical reactions are irreversible.

Hibernation is _______. A. An example of an abiotic cycle b. Triggered by changes in the weather c. Caused only by biotic factor

natta225 [31]

The correct answer is option b, that is, triggered by changes in the weather.

Hibernation refers to a state of lower metabolism and inactivity usually witnessed in endotherms. This condition is featured by a slow heart rate, slow breathing, low metabolic rate, and low body temperature. It assists the majority of the endotherms to thrive in the cold seasons. For example, hibernation of a bear in winters. Therefore, weather change can stimulate hibernation.

g When copper(II) chloride and sodium carbonate solutions are combined, solid copper(II) carbonate precipitates, leaving a solut

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:

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

What is the net charge of the ionic compound calcium fluoride

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The net charge of the ionic compound calcium fluoride is zero (0).

Explanation:

Ionic compounds, such as covalent ones, have zero net charge; this is, they are neutral.

Substances with net positive charge are cations and substances with net negative charge are anions.

The charges in the ionic compound calcium flouride are distributed in this way:

Compound formula: CaF₂

Calcium charge: Ca²⁺: this is, each calcium ion has a 2 positive charge

Fluoride charge: F⁻: each fluoride ion has a 1 negative charge.

Then, the net charge is: 1 × (2+) + 2 × (1-) = +2 - 2 = 0.

So, a two positve charge, from one calcium ion, is equal to two negative charges, from two fluoride tions, yielding a zero net charge.
