In a double-replacement reaction, the _____.?
There are many more interesting things to ask about double replacement reactions than are contained in the list given here. But the only correct choice is:
C.reactants are two ionic compounds
B. a nucleus with a positive charge.
If you have a book, read it!! I promise you, it tells you this answer!
To find the ratio of the the combination for the ion, write the charge of the cation as the subscript for the anion, and the charge of the anion as the subscript of the cation. This will make the charges effectively cancel and you will be left with a neutral ionic compound. Remember, that an ionic compound is made up of a metal and a nonmetal.
For Ca2+ and Cl-, you will get the neutral compound to be CaCl₂.
