Species shown in bold are precipitates.
- Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Ca(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
- Ca(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → CaC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃
- Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 KI → CuI₂ + 2 KI
- Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Cu(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
- Cu(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → CuC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃
- Ni(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Ni(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
- Ni(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → NiC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃
- Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Zn(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
- Zn(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → ZnC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃

A double replacement reaction takes place only if it reduces in the concentration of ions in the solution. For example, the reaction between Ca(NO₃)₂ and KOH produces Ca(OH)₂. Ca(OH)₂ barely dissolves. The reaction has removed Ca²⁺ and OH⁻ ions from the solution.
Some of the reactions lead to neither precipitates nor gases. They will not take place since they are not energetically favored.

Compare the first and last row:
Both Ca(NO₃)₂ and Zn(NO₃)₂ react with KOH. However, between the two precipitates formed, Ca(OH)₂ is more soluble than Zn(OH)₂.
As a result, add the same amount of KOH to two Ca(NO₃)₂ and Zn(NO₃)₂ of equal concentration. The solution that end up with more precipitate shall belong to Zn(NO₃)₂.

Compare the second and third row:
Cu(NO₃)₂ reacts with KI, but Ni(NO₃)₂ does not. Thus, add equal amount of KI to the two unknowns. The solution that forms precipitate shall belong to Cu(NO₃)₂.
(A)Nuclear change..............
Protons and neutrons have most of the mass but occupy very little of the volume of the atom.
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.
