Answer:

Products are stearate anion and water.

Explanation:

Stearic acid is a 18-carbon chain molecule containing -COOH group. IUPAC name of stearic acid is octadecanoic acid.

Molecular formula of stearic acid is $C_{17}H_{35}CO_{2}H$ .

When $OH^{-}$ is added into stearic acid, $OH^{-}$ removes a proton ( $H^{+}$ ) from acidic -COOH group and forms stearate anion and water as products.

The balanced acid-base reaction is given as:

$C_{17}H_{35}CO_{2}H+OH^{-}\rightleftharpoons C_{17}H_{35}CO_{2}^{-}+H_{2}O$

Structure of products are given below.

Write the net ionic equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of chromium(III) bromide and pota

expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

An ionic equation will be the one in which all the participating species will be present as ions.

The given reaction will be as follows.

$CrBr_{3} + K_{2}CO_{3} \rightarrow Cr_{2}(CO_{3})_{3}(s) + KBr$

Balancing this equation by multiplying $CrBr_{3}$ by 2 and $K_{2}CO_{3}$ by 3 on reactant side. Whereas multiply KBr by 6 on product side.

$2CrBr_{3} + 3K_{2}CO_{3} \rightarrow Cr_{2}(CO_{3})_{3}(s) + 6KBr$

Hence, the net ionic equation will be as follows.

$2Cr^{3+}(aq) + 3CO^{2-}_{3}(aq) + 6K^{+} + 6Br^{-} \rightarrow Cr_{2}(CO_{3})_{3}(s) + 6K^{+} + 6Br^{-}$

As both $K^{+}$ and $Br^{-}$ are spectator ions. Hence, the net ionic equation will be as follows.

$2Cr^{3+}(aq) + 3CO^{2-}_{3}(aq) \rightarrow Cr_{2}(CO_{3})_{3}(s)$

Metals consist of giant structure of atoms arranged in a regular pattern. The electrons in the outer shell of metal atoms are shared , and are free to move throughout the structure. Therefore the structure is formed by positive charged metal ions held together by a 'sea' of delocalised.
