Answer:

Net ionic equation:

Zn²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → Zn(OH)₂(s)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

ZnCl₂ + KOH → KCl + Zn(OH)₂

Balanced chemical equation:

ZnCl₂ + 2KOH → 2KCl +Zn(OH)₂

Ionic equation;

Zn²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) + 2K⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) +Zn(OH)₂(s)

Net ionic equation:

Zn²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → Zn(OH)₂(s)

The K⁺ and Cl⁻ are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The Zn(OH)₂ can not be splitted into ions because it is present in solid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.

Which of the following is the correct formula for Ca2+ reacting with NO2??

mariarad [96]

Answer:

B. Ca(NO2)2

Explanation:

Ions (charged atoms) combine with one another to form stable ionic compounds. In this case, calicium ion (Ca2+) is said to react with NO2, which has a charge of -1 i.e. +1-1(2) = 1-2 = -1.

This means that calcium has a charge of +2 while nitrite ion has charge of -1, hence, when they combine, they exchange their charges, which become their subscript as follows:

Ca2+ + NO2- → Ca(NO2)2

Ca(NO2)2 is a stable ionic compound called calcium nitrite. Notice that it takes two atoms of NO2- to react with one atom of Ca2+.
